Fighting obesity

Obesity is an epidemic that impacts more than nine million Americans, and more and more people who are affected by obesity are seeking to learn about surgical weight reduction.

New York Methodist Hospital offers a free “Surgical Weight Reduction Information Seminar and Support Group,” which will meet June 26 from 5:30-7:30 p.m.

During the first 30 minutes of the seminar, a surgeon will conduct an information session for individuals who are interested in learning about the surgery. A 90-minute support group meeting open to pre- and post-operative patients will follow the information session.

The session will be held in the hospital’s Executive Dining Room, 506 Sixth Street between Seventh & Eighth avenues in Park Slope.
