Seminars and Support Groups
As part of our commitment to patient care and good clinical outcomes, we offer several patient education opportunities. Patient seminars are designed to give prospective patients the opportunity to learn more about obesity surgery options such as the LAP-BAND® System and speak with both clinical professionals and patients. Patient support groups are primarily geared for patients who have already had obesity surgery, but can be attended by prospective patients as well. They provide a critical forum for patients to share experiences, have questions answered, and gain encouragement from their peers.
See Mandy talk about her LAP-BAND® procedure in this short video:
Our patient seminars and support group meetings are held regularly at various locations. The presenter is Keith E. McEwen, M.D., Indiana Obesity Center's surgeon. Each information session is scheduled for 6:00 to 8:00 PM. Below is a list of scheduled events.
