Weight Loss Surgery Seminars PDF Print E-mail

The first step to joining the Turning Point program and requesting bariatric surgery is to attend an informational seminar. Turning Point informational seminars are open to anyone who is researching weight loss surgery options.

The seminars provide information on the history of obesity, treatment options, surgical procedure review and surgery complications and offer time for questions and answers.

A packet of informational tools and required documentation will be provided at the end of the seminar. Potential patients must review bariatric patient information packet instructions as well as complete the questionnaire and insurance information forms and return the completed packet by mail (pre-addressed envelope provided) or in person to the Tallgrass General, Vascular and Bariatric Surgery office, which is open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Saturday Meetings:


Informational seminars are held the second Saturday of each month at St. Francis Health Center in the Auditorium on the second floor from 10:00am - Noon. Please arrive early as will begin the program at 10:00am. Late arrival and/or early departure will require attendance at another seminar before you can be scheduled for a consultation with a surgeon.
