Our doctors and staff firmly believe that weight loss cannot be sustained in the long-term without a holistic and in-depth approach to treatment that considers all aspects of the body and mind. Simply having
bariatric surgery does not ensure that weight loss will be permanent.
Our bariatric patients meet monthly with other patients, alternating support
staff, exercise specialists, psychologists, dieticians, internists, and our
fellowship-trained bariatric surgeons. Educational topics are discussed and patients can
share their experiences with the experts and each other. It is a unique opportunity
for
weight loss surgery patients to develop camaraderie, seek help, and provide encouragement to
others who may be just beginning their journey to a new life.
