The American Medical and Media Responsibility and Compliance Authority (www. AMMRCA. org) and MDTV® Medical News Now (www.

In an effort to save lives of the morbidly obese, the AMMRCA and MDTV® have launched a critical clinical study to learn from the morbidly obese what motivates and inhibits them from finding weight loss surgery solutions. "We need to find the reasons why the morbidly obese get discouraged and do not seek help and how better educational approaches can encourage and motivate action", says MDTV® Select™ bariatric surgeon and the clinical study’s principle investigator, Joseph I. Kamelgard, M. D., F. A.C. S. Morbidly Obese volunteers will receive a gift for their one-hour participation and can register at http://www. AMMRCA. org (http://www. AMMRCA. org).

The Clinical Study will take place at the new Lighter for Life® Bariatric Educational Center at 140 Route 17 North, Suite 102, in Paramus, New Jersey. Volunteers in the study will use interactive remotes to answer questions while seated in comfortable and appropriately sized chairs.
