A free, informational seminar about weight loss surgery will be offered by Minnesota Institute for Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIMIS) Surgeon Shawn Roberts, M.D., and health professionals on Monday, May 13, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Butler Building in Aitkin.

Making the decision to undergo weight loss surgery is an education process best aided by medical professionals such as surgeons and physicians, dietitians and counselors. The greatest opportunity for long- term success is reinforced by a well-informed decision and the championship of others who support and encourage the goals being set.
