Considering weight-loss surgery? Learn more during free seminar with Tidelands Health surgeon 

People with obesity who want to improve their quality of life can learn about proven weight-loss options during a free seminar this month. 

Dr. Sara Shields Tarwater, a board-certified and fellowship-trained bariatric surgeon at Tidelands Health, will share details about what to expect on a weight-loss journey, provide an overview of weight-loss surgery options and help attendees take the first step toward a healthier life.  

The free seminar will be held Thursday, Jan. 30, at 5:30 p.m. at the Tidelands Health Pawleys Family YMCA, 12965 Ocean Highway in Pawleys Island. 

“It’s challenging for many people with obesity to lose weight and keep it off. But you don’t have to continue to suffer,” Dr. Tarwater said. “Proven weight-loss strategies can help you shed the pounds for good and start enjoying the quality of life you deserve.” 

Dr. Tarwater leads a team of experts at Tidelands Health that works closely with patients to meet their individual weight-loss goals, providing crucial support along every step of the journey.
