Long Term Weight Loss Comments Off on Doctors of Weight Loss Co-Founder, Dr Emma Patterson, Giving Away Lap Band

Portland, OR (PRWEB) May 08, 2012

Doctors of Weight Loss expert & co-founder, Dr. Emma Patterson, is sponsoring a contest in which one inspirational individual will receive a LAP-BAND procedure and one year of follow-up care, compliments of her practice, Oregon Weight Loss Surgery. The contest is sponsored by their Band Together for Weight Loss Campaign, which is an educational initiative that aims to educate consumers and healthcare professionals to work together to address the obesity epidemic. Dr. Emma Patterson, CEO and Medical Director of Oregon Weight Loss Surgery said, "this is an exciting contest, and the first of its kind in the Portland area. At Oregon Weight Loss Surgery my entire team is dedicated to helping people change their lives through weight loss surgery. We are excited to get the message out about the current obesity epidemic, and safe and successful treatments for this chronic disease, including bariatric surgery such as the Lap-Band." The goal of the campaign is to accomplish this through a dual focus on prevention and treatment, as well as acceptance of all effective treatments for obesity, including weight-loss surgery for people who are severely obese. Patterson said, "I love my work - its really fun seeing patients enjoy improved health and quality of life. Its particularly fun to be giving away a potentially life-saving surgery."

The contest winner will publicly share their long-term struggle with weight loss in an effort to encourage others struggling with being significantly overweight (generally 100 or more pounds overweight) to reclaim their health and their lives. To enter the Band Together for Weight Loss contest, individuals must submit a full length photo and a short essay (500-word max) explaining how their weight has had an impact on their health and life and why the LAP-BAND System may be the tool to help achieve their weight loss goal. The contest deadline is MAY 11th, 2012. More information about the contest can be found at http://www.oregonweightlosssurgery.com/
