Upcoming Events



Weight loss information seminars

Surgical Institute of South Dakota, PC, in conjunction with the Avera McKennan Bariatric Institute, hosts monthly events for you to learn more about surgical and non-surgical weight loss options.

Weight Loss Support Group



Bariatric surgery is a life-changing procedure. Support groups have proven to be an essential part of a long-term successful treatment plan. Group sessions promote healthy lifestyle changes by providing a forum to network with others on a similar journey. Sharing experiences can be both supportive and educational.


Bariatric support group sessions are open to anyone who's already had weight loss surgery or for those considering it.
