PROVIDENCE – Roger Williams Medical Center is offering its next free informational session on weight loss surgery on Wednesday, Feb. 10, from 6-9 p.m. in the hospital’s Kay Auditorium. The seminars take place monthly, with members of the hospital’s team, including program director Dr. Dieter Pohl, discussing weight loss surgery. At these seminars, Pohl will explain bariatric surgery, show videos on how the surgery is performed and detail how much weight a person can lose and the surgery’s risks. The session will answer basic questions surrounding these procedures, help identify who is a candidate and explain Roger Williams’ surgical weight loss program.
Pohl holds these informational sessions the second Wednesday of every month. The hospital, a Bariatric Surgery “Center of Excellence” since 2005, is at 825 Chalkstone Ave., in Providence.
