Meet Patients and Learn About Surgery

A Note From Dr. Ellner

A ttending my seminar is an extremely important step in understanding what options you have for losing weight and getting healthy. In the regular surgical weight loss lectures, I’ll teach you how the Sleeve Gastrectomy, Gastric Bypass, and Lap Band work, what you could expect from each surgery and I will ensure that you understand the risks and potential complications as well.  People love to attend the seminars because it’s an opportunity to meet patients who have had surgery. Many of my patients enjoy coming to the lectures to visit with people who have questions for them. They are there to help and will be very honest with you in sharing their experiences.

If you are interested in learning more about the non-surgical Gastric Balloon Procedure, be sure to register for that specific seminar.
