BROWNSVILLE, Texas – DHR Health Brownsville Bariatric Surgeon Dr. Angela Lomas is inviting community members to attend a free weight loss educational seminar that will take place at noon on August 14, 2025 at the DHR Health Brownsville Bariatric & Metabolic Institute, located at 4770 North Expressway 77, Suite 303. The meeting will feature special guest speaker, Fermin Lopez, a retired law enforcement officer and DHR Health bariatric patient.
Lopez had bariatric surgery himself in 2016 at DHR Health. He will talk to group participants about his weight loss surgery and how the procedure has helped him and his overall health.
“I believe the greatest investment in life is the one you make in yourself. Bariatric surgery gave me back my health and a future that I look forward to,” said Lopez.
Lomas will also be on hand to present on the process of getting weight loss surgery at DHR Health and how the program differs from other facilities in the region.
“At the DHR Health Bariatric and Metabolic Institute, we are proud to offer a comprehensive program that includes bariatric surgeons such as myself and other specialists which include nutrition counseling, personalized exercise plans, behavioral health support, and long-term follow-up care—which ultimately help patients succeed at every stage of their weight loss journey,” said Lomas who added that medically guided weight loss surgery can provide many benefits in preventing or managing conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea.
