After meeting with a surgeon and as part of the weight loss surgery process, new patients must meet with a bariatric surgery dietitian by attending one of our initial dietitian groups. In addition, we offer a cooking class and support groups.
Initial Dietitian Groups
New patients are required to sign up for a group led by one of our experienced bariatric dietitians. Information about joining one of these virtual initial dietitian groups will be provided to patients in the enrollment folder following their first visit. Please call 617.414.8052 if you have any questions.
Pre-surgery Cooking Class
Before surgery, patients can attend a cooking class to learn how to prepare simple, healthy, and affordable recipes that will help your stomach heal properly post-surgery, help you lose the right amount of weight, and prevent nutritional deficiencies after your surgery. This class, offered by BMC's Teaching Kitchen, is held virtually.
