Weighing in on Weight loss: Have weight loss drugs replaced the need for surgery?Join us for an informative session on bariatric surgery with Steven Hodgett, MD, FACS , general surgeon at North Florida Surgeons who performs bariatric surgery Baptist Bariatric Surgery Center.
With obesity affecting more than 40% of U.S. adults, millions are turning to injectable weight loss medications. While GLP-1 medications have been approved by the FDA to treat obesity for three years, bariatric surgery has been around for 60 years.
At Baptist Health, bariatric surgery is performed using minimally invasive approaches resulting in smaller incisions, reduced pain and a quicker return to normal activities. And soon, bariatric surgery will be available at Baptist Clay.
This talk is free to attend. Light snacks will be available.
