Diet Dilemma Addressed at Free Seminars in Orange County

SANTA ANA, Calif. - Oct. 4, 2016 - PRLog -- For those who have tried every diet and nothing seems to work, a series of free seminars is being held during October in Orange County that explores the latest tools in the war against obesity.  The nonprofit West Medical Foundation is holding a series of free seminars that will explore why many diets seem to fail and introduce new procedures that are helping dieters become lean. Among the topics covered is the new FDA approved gastric balloon. This minimally invasive procedure, that takes only minutes to perform, involves inserting a balloon into the stomach that is then filled with saline.  Because it fills the volume, patients feel fuller faster and the pounds drop. This is but one of many tools that will be addressed at the seminars that will be held at 800 North Tustin Ave, Suite M, Santa Ana that are scheduled for:

·      Tuesday, October 4, 2016 – 5 p.m.

·      Wednesday, October 12, 2016 – 5 p.m.

·      Tuesday, October 18, 2016 – 5 p.m.

·      Wednesday, October 26, 2016 –5 p.m.

·      Saturday, October 29, 2016 – 10 a.m.

Space is limited.  Call to reserve your spot and confirm date and location by calling (855) 525-6237.

"Fueling the multi-billion-dollar diet industry are the estimated 71% of Americans who are obese or overweight.," said board-certified bariatric surgeon Hooman Shabatian, M.D., medical director of the foundation.  "When these diets fail, many get frustrated and desperate, not to mention being more prone to a host of life-threatening health implications like stroke, diabetes and heart disease.
