Academic Surgical Associates, PLLC Bariatric Surgery Program |
We appreciate your interest in surgery for severe obesity. We understand that losing weight is difficult and that maintaining the weight loss can seem almost impossible. Our program can help morbidly obese people lose weight and maintain the loss. We recognize the special needs of each individual, understanding that strong motivation and long-term commitment are crucial to modifying eating behaviors. Altering lifetime habits requires education, emotional support, money and time. This information is for those who are morbidly obese and who are considering a surgical procedure as a means to achieve and maintain a healthy body weight. Because we are committed to patient education, we encourage you to use this website as a tool to find answers to your questions about gastric bypass surgery. Our staff members are also available to answer any questions you may have. |
Please Note: Bariatric surgery is not for every patient. Each patient is evaluated on an individual basis. Patients must be willing to make significant changes in their lifestyle, and be emotionally stable in order to tolerate the life-long changes associated with this type of surgery. |
