Get motivated to improve your health

Weight loss surgery primarily tackles the issue of obesity; however, obesity is a disease of metabolic derangements that directly contributes to the formation of high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, fatty liver disease, liver cirrhosis, sleep apnea, heartburn, and more than a dozen types of cancer (if left untreated). The benefits of weight loss extend far beyond the number on the scale.

Start your weight-loss journey today

Are you looking to lose weight and kickstart your journey to a healthier, happier life? If so, consider attending a free bariatric seminar hosted by TidalHealth.

These informative sessions, focusing primarily on surgical interventions, also present a pathway to the medical weight loss program for those who find surgery isn’t the right fit for them.

TidalHealth’s free bariatric seminars occur twice a month, with sessions scheduled on the second Thursday at 6 pm and the last Saturday at 9 am.

Led by experienced surgeons, these seminars provide attendees with the chance to meet and engage with a surgeon before leaving the facility.

The duration of the seminars varies, typically lasting between one to two hours, contingent on the number of questions raised by participants. Patients may attend alone or bring a support person.

Attending the seminar serves as a prerequisite for entering the surgical weight-loss program. Patients cannot proceed to consultations with a surgeon without first participating in this informative session.

To register, call 302-297-2412.
