MARQUETTE—Are
you or someone you know 100 pounds or more overweight? Have you
tried dieting, only to regain the weight and more?
The public is invited to an educational seminar on extreme obesity
and surgical options available for weight reduction, Monday, November
20, at 6 p.m. in Conference Room 1 at Marquette General Hospital.
Bariatric Surgeon Dr. Wayne English of the Marquette General Hospital
Medical Staff will describe the types of weight loss surgeries,
focusing on Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. He will also explain who
meets the requirements for surgery, the guidelines patients must
follow before and after surgery, and the lifestyle changes that
are necessary following the surgery.
.
Wayne English, M.D.
The presentation will also discuss the importance of post-bariatric
surgery support groups that will soon be available at Marquette
General Hospital and throughout the Upper Peninsula via the Telehealth
videoconference system.
Members of the multidisciplinary team that works with each person
before and after surgery will also be present to answer questions.
Their involvement with each patient enhances the likelihood of
long-term success for post-bariatric patients.
