Obesity - The most serious health problem

"Obesity is the most serious health problem in the United States today.  Obesity, especially morbid obesity, is also probably the most poorly understood disease among health care practitioners and therefore the most inadequately treated.   Millions suffer from morbid obesity, yet there is no powerful pro-obesity lobby in Congress, the government does not make conquering this disease a top priority, and there is not even legislation to protect the rights of the morbidly obese. Through dedication and hard work we can make a difference in people’s lives. 

Thanks to the efforts of many surgeons and their patients, bariatric surgery is now actually more successful than many more commonly performed operations. This is not to say that surgery alone will solve the problem of morbid obesity.  The causes of morbid obesity are complex and multifactorial, including genetic, metabolic, environmental, neurological, hormonal and a disordered relationship with food.  It is not surprising then that surgery is only a tool – a powerful tool – in the treatment of morbid obesity. Therefore, optimal treatment of morbid obesity, and best surgical outcomes, are achieved by using a multi-disciplinary approach by professionals keenly focused on the needs of bariatric patients.

We invite you to join our bariatric team and be proactive in achieving better health and an overall improved quality of life while defeating the disease of morbid obesity.
