Press Release Summary: Info-Surge releases an updated online presentation for BLIST. This newly upgraded module is designed to educate patients who undergo weight loss surgery by a BLIST surgeon about the additional medical care they may receive in case of a complication.

Press Release Body: Info-Surge, an online patient education company, has posted this new module on their website at www.info-surge.com/introdemo/blis/launcher.html. It may also be seen by going to the BLIST website at http://www.bliscompany.com/education.php. The program clearly explains the benefits, rules for eligibility, and other important details by using friendly audio narration paired with visual content that aids comprehension. The module is followed by a short quiz to demonstrate and document the patient\'s understanding of the information presented and to increase knowledge retention.

BLIST has been an Info-Surge client since June 2006. By utilizing visual content and patient-friendly narrations in a multi-media format, BLIST surgeons are able to more effectively manage patient expectations regarding the additional medical care offered. Surgeons and patients can access information on the system as often as needed from the comfort of their homes or offices.

Regi Schindler, President and CEO of BLIST, said, \"We asked Info-Surge to produce this new educational module after feedback from our current clients. The solution offered by Info-Surge is consistent with our desire to improve access to bariatric surgery and help surgeons and patients achieve successful outcomes.
