Attend an informational seminar

We ask that you attend a seminar before scheduling an appointment with a MultiCare bariatric surgery program. During the seminar, you’ll meet a board-certified bariatric surgeon who will discuss weight-loss procedures, insurance requirements, the before and after surgery experience, and how we’ll provide ongoing support after surgery. At the end of the seminar, you’ll have the opportunity to complete a screening form to help us determine your eligibility and insurance coverage.
