If you are overweight by 90 pounds or more, isn’t it time to take control of your life and your health? At the Alvarado Hospital Surgical W eight- Loss Program your health and well-being are our biggest priorities. At our free seminars, you can personally meet one of our highly skilled bariatric surgeons who will discuss the risks and benefits of gastric banding and bypass surgeries. And often, our former patients come to share their personal stories.

 

Why wait? You've got nothing to lose, but weight!

 

All seminars held in the Alvarado Conference Center, 6645 Alvarado Road, San Diego, unless otherwise noted. RSVP to 1-800-ALVARADO (1-800-258-2723). Alvarado Hospital also features a variety of surgical revision options. For a personal consultation, call 619-229-3340.

 

Gastric bypass versus banding? What is the difference? Which one is right for you? Find out all you need to know at this seminar presented by one of our experienced bariatric surgeons.

 

 

Regular support group attendance is an important element of your post-operative success. It has been documented that patients who attend regular support group meetings experience greater weight loss, and maintain their weight loss more successfully than patients who do not attend support groups. Attending support groups before surgery is a great way to obtain good knowledge of how to live with weight-loss surgery. All adult patients, friends and family are welcome to attend.
