Griffin Bariatrics to host virtual presentations on weight-loss services

DERBY - Griffin Bariatrics will offer free virtual presentations on weight-loss services May 2 at 5:30 p.m., May 18 at 5:30 p.m., May 31 at noon, June 6 at 5:30 p.m., June 15 at 5:30 p.m., and June 28 at noon.


Led by Griffin Hospital Director of Bariatrics Dr. Abe Fridman, these seminars will explain how bariatric surgery can help patients lose significant amounts of weight, enhance their health, and provide long-term outcomes. 

Additionally, techniques, support programs, pre- and post-operative expectations, and insurance questions are also discussed.

Griffin Hospital established its comprehensive weight loss surgery program, Griffin Bariatrics, to provide a medical solution for patients with more substantial weight loss needs. 

The long-term success enjoyed by Griffin Bariatrics patients is a result of excellent medical care, including the latest minimally invasive surgical procedures, combined with access to a full range of multidisciplinary services that have been assembled to support them before, during, and after their surgery.

To register, contact Bariatric Care Specialist Kimberly Fisher at kfisher@griffinhealth.org or 203-732-7108.
