REMINDER: OR-Live.com Presents: Live LAP-BAND Surgery for Morbid Obesity

Live Webcast: May 10th, 6 pm EDT (22:00 UTC) CME Credit Available

Obesity is reaching epidemic proportions in the US, with 65 percent of adults identified as being overweight today. When conventional weight loss techniques like supervised dieting, exercise and behavior modification fail, surgery has been the last recourse for many. The LAP-BAND® system is a safe and effective surgical intervention now available at Hartford Hospital. Using minimally invasive techniques, Dr. Darren Tishler places the band around the upper portion of the stomach, without cutting or stapling of the stomach. This is the only technique that is both reversible and adjustable. To date, almost 150,000 patients worldwide have undergone the procedure. Watch on May 10 as Dr. Tishler performs a live LAP-BAND surgery on www.OR-Live.com
