Campus Construction Update

Starting September 14, we’re closing the Menino building lobby entrance. This, along with the ongoing Yawkey building entrance closure, will help us bring you an even better campus experience that matches the exceptional care you've come to expect. Please enter the Menino and Yawkey buildings through the Moakley building, and make sure to leave extra time to get to your appointment. Thank you for your patience.

Bariatric Surgery Prep

Welcome to the resource page for Bariatric Surgery Prep and the Teaching Kitchen! Scroll down to find sign-up information, program information and resources.

Bariatric Surgery Prep 

Before surgery, patients can attend a class in the Teaching Kitchen 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 is usually offered in person by BMC’s Teaching Kitchen, but is currently being held virtually.

For more information about weight loss surgery please see our Weight Loss Surgery (Bariatric Surgery) Page.

We offer two classes each month: one with translation to Portuguese and one with translation to Spanish.
