NMRHS Offers Free Bariatric Surgery Seminar
March 14th, 2011
Office: Workshops/Classes
6:00 PM to 7:00 PM
Location: Community Health Education Center, Northern Michigan Regional Hospital
In conjunction with its new bariatric surgery weight loss program, Northern Michigan Regional Health System is offering a free bariatric surgery seminar on Monday, March 14.
Because one size or procedure does not fit all patients, several new weight loss options will be the focus of the presentation, titled “Bariatric Surgery and Obesity: What are my choices?” by Randal Baker, MD, FACS, head of the new bariatric surgery program at Northern Michigan Regional Health System. The seminar will take place from 6-7 p.m. at the Community Heath Education Center located on the campus of Northern Michigan Regional Hospital in Petoskey.
“The benefits of bariatric surgery far outweigh the risks associated with obesity including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, osteoarthritis, and several cancers. In fact, bariatric surgery is the only significant option that actually cures diabetes,” Baker said. “Studies are showing that bariatric surgery saves lives, improves overall health and well-being, and saves money.”
The free seminar will include discussion on the new surgical weight loss options available through Northern Michigan Regional Health System, as well as surgical qualifications and the multi-disciplinary approach solely focused on the best outcome for each individual patient.
He attended Albany Medical College of New York. He is an Assistant Professor of Surgery for Michigan State College of Human Medicine and serves as the Medical Director of Bariatrics for Spectrum Health. Dr. Baker is also the President of the Michigan Bariatric Society.
