Weight-Loss Seminars
Patients can access free online information sessions through our bariatric surgeons. Please reach out directly to the physician's office to inquire about online education.
Virtual Weight-Loss Surgery Support Group
Our Virtual Weight-Loss Surgery Support Group is led by a registered dietitian who will review a different post-surgery nutrition topic each month. Our groups are designed to provide a supportive space for individuals who have had weight-loss surgery and their family members and friends. These groups will help you to learn more, connect with others, and share experiences, feelings, and questions. Anyone who is thinking about or planning to have weight-loss surgery is also encouraged to attend.
Support group meetings are held on the second Monday of each month, from 7:00 p.m. to 8 p.m. To register, email Julia Mutter at Julia.mutter@holycrosshealth.org or call 301-754-7848.
Kaiser Permanente-insured patients are encouraged to call 301-905-3535 to receive a monthly invite to Kaiser-facilitated virtual Post-Op Support Groups.
