Lake Norman Regional Medical Center will hold a free educational seminar, Understanding Surgical Weight Loss on Oct. 26 at 7 p.m. at the hospital.

Morbid obesity is a life-threatening disease that affects over 15 million people in the U.S. A landmark study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that bariatric surgery improved or resolved type 2 diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea and high cholesterol in the vast majority of morbidly obese patients. Most patients had lost 55 to 70 percent of their excess weight one year after bariatric surgery.
Call (704) 660-HLTH (4584) for additional information about the Center for Surgical Weight Loss, and register to attend this free seminar.
