Achieving a healthy weight promotes overall health and well-being. However, for some individuals, traditional methods of diet and exercise may not be sufficient to achieve significant weight loss. In such cases, weight loss surgery, also known as bariatric surgery, has emerged as one of the most effective surgical methods for a range of health conditions.
Our dedicated Bariatric & Weight Loss Surgery Department is committed to helping patients overcome the challenges associated with obesity and its related health issues. Our experienced team ofbariatric surgeonsworks closely with each patient and their primary care physician to identify the best treatment and surgical options that are best suited for their health and needs.
The impact of excess weight on one's health and quality of life cannot be overstated. Being overweight can make it difficult to maintain an active lifestyle and hinder the ability to engage in activities that bring joy and fulfillment. Moreover, excess weight affects physical health, and obesity can also contribute to various medical conditions, including Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, Sleep Apnea, Arthritis, Asthma, Acid Reflux, Infertility, and High Cholesterol.
The department of Bariatric & Weight Loss Surgery offers a transformative solution for individuals who have struggled to achieve sustainable weight loss through conventional methods. Our team understands the challenges faced by patients dealing with obesity-related conditions, and we are committed to providing personalized care and support throughout their weight loss journey.
We offer a range of Bariatric (Weight Loss) procedures, each planned to work in different ways to promote weight loss and improve overall health. These procedures can be categorized into two main types: those that limit the amount of food the stomach can hold and those that alter the way food is digested.
Gastric restriction procedures for bariatric weight loss surgery involve the use of surgical techniques to reduce the size of the stomach. By creating a smaller stomach pouch, these procedures limit the amount of food an individual can consume, leading to a feeling of fullness with smaller portions.
Malabsorptive procedures, on the other hand, alter the way the body absorbs nutrients from food. By rerouting the digestive tract, these procedures reduce the amount of calories and nutrients absorbed by the body, leading to weight loss.
In some cases, a combination of gastric restriction and malabsorption may be recommended to achieve optimal weight loss results.
Modern Bariatric surgeries are often performed using Minimally Invasive Techniques, such as Laparoscopic Surgery/Robotic Assisted Laparoscopic Surgery. These techniques involve small incisions, resulting in reduced scarring, shorter recovery times, and lower risk of complications.
Before recommending any weight loss surgery, our team conducts a thorough evaluation of each patient's medical history, lifestyle, and individual goals. We believe in a patient-centered approach, and our primary objective is to ensure the safety and well-being of our patients throughout their weight loss journey.
Weight loss surgery is not a quick fix, but rather a powerful tool that, when combined with a commitment to lifestyle changes, can lead to significant and sustainable weight loss. Our Bariatric Surgery Specialty is dedicated to supporting patients at every step, providing comprehensive post-surgery care and guidance to help them achieve long-term success in their weight loss and overall health goals.
If you are struggling with obesity and related health conditions, we encourage you to explore the possibilities of weight loss surgery and the potential for a healthier, happier, and more fulfilling life with the virtue of bariatric weight loss surgery. Our team is ready to work with you and your primary care physician to determine the best path forward on your journey to a healthier you.
