Are You a Candidate
|
If you are 18 or older, have a history of obesity and non-surgical methods have failed, have high-risk health problems, (for example: diabetes, sleep apnea, high blood pressure) and are 80 to 100 pounds over your ideal weight, you may be a candidate for bariatric surgery. Also, a body mass index (BMI) greater than 40 or 35-39.9 with a co-morbid condition.*
However, we recommend you come to one of our seminars to discuss what is best for your situation, as there are several factors to consider when thinking about having bariatric surgery.
Our comprehensive approach to treatment includes several services all related to successful weight loss. Services include:
Medical Evaluation - works with a patient's primary doctor for weight management
Surgical Consultations - surgeons conduct physical exams and evaluations prior to surgery
Psychological Assessment - ensures the patient's well-being before undergoing treatment
Nutrition Counseling - monitors proper intake of foods, liquids and vitamins
Exercise and Therapy - supervised program of exercise before and after surgery
Outpatient Pharmacy - for all your medication and supplement needs
Sleep Center - sleep apnea can often be alleviated with surgery
