If obesity is damaging your health and interfering with your quality of life, a free webinar from St. Mary’s Health Care System and bariatric surgeon Dr. Aaron Carr can help you decide what kind of medical assistance is most likely to free you from the “lose it/gain it back” cycle.
“Bariatric surgery in the Age of Ozempic” will be held Nov. 2, at 6 p.m. via Zoom. It will provide insights into the pros and cons of various treatments for obesity, including the current fad of using the diabetes drug Ozempic for weight loss. Dr. Carr will take an evidence-based approach as he compares surgical outcomes with other weight loss strategies. He will especially focus on safety and sustainability.
Dr. Carr is a general surgeon with Athens General and Colorectal Surgeons who specializes in bariatric surgery. Registration for the webinar is free and open to all. To sign up, visit https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_ZbzEs2xfT-WsiTEkGfMpVw.
