Coastal Center for Obesity provided an informative seminar and support group recently for patients that have undergone Bariatric surgery and all those who wanted to learn more about the benefits and challenges of weight loss surgery, as well as the options now available to them. While obesity is a threat among all social classes and populations, Latinos are disproportionately affected by obesity and its complications including diabetes, hypertension, vascular disease, sleep apnea and depression. This support group has been created to help and educate the Hispanic community about this serious problem and was held in Spanish, though English-speaking participants are welcome.

Bariatric Surgery is an increasingly popular weight-loss alternative for morbidly obese people who face serious health risks associated with their weight. Recent data indicates that 50 percent of Americans are overweight and 6-10 million are more then 100 pounds overweight.
