Online bariatric surgery information session
Can’t make it to the in-person information sessions? We also offer them here, at your convenience.
Our information session is designed to inform and educate you about the commitment and lifestyle changes involved with weight-loss surgery. The session is divided into seven video segments, allowing you to stop and start as needed for breaks.
After viewing all seven video segments, please take the quiz at the bottom of the page. It is designed to assess your understanding of the information. Your performance on the quiz will not determine acceptance into our program. It is not possible to start and stop the quiz, so please complete it in one session.
Once you have reviewed all the videos and completed the quiz below, we will contact you to discuss whether our program is the right fit.
Our staff cannot provide technical support for the online information session. If you are unable to view the videos or perform the quiz online, we invite you to call us to register to attend an on-campus Information session.
