Renaissance
Bariatric Surgical Weight Loss Program
For men and women who are 100 pounds
overweight or have serious co-morbidities
related to your weight, Doctors Hospital
at Renaissance offers a surgical weight
loss program. The procedure used is called
Gastric Bypass Roux-En-Y. This procedure
reduces the capacity of the stomach, thereby
allowing the individual to feel full and
take in less food. The gastric bypass, in
particular, reroutes the path food travels
during digestion so that the body absorbs
fewer calories. |
In recognizing clinically severe obesity as a
major health problem, The National Institutes
of Health describes these surgical procedures
as established treatment options for individuals
who may not be able to lose weight by any other
means. Our highly trained and experienced Medical
Director performs the procedures and oversees
a multi-disciplinary program tailored to meet
the individual needs of our patients, both prior
to and following surgery. This program also offers
a support group, nutritional counseling, and exercise
therapy.
