Overview and Distinguishing Factors
What makes this Gastric Bypass program different? Dr.
Richard tells why he came to ObesitySolutions:When the time came for me to leave the military I was in a unique position. I was an experienced general and bariatric surgeon who was looking for a place to practice. There were many bariatric practices looking for help, many in need of a laparoscopic surgeon to add laparoscopy to their practice. I had the opportunity to visit many bariatric surgical practices and to evaluate their level of commitment to patient care and outcome. I joined ObesitySolutions simply because this practice was the most fully committed to having successful patient outcomes.
Obesity Solutions Surgical Weight Loss Program
Some programs do not require psychological evaluations, others do
not provide nutritional counseling or support groups and many do not
have hospital support. When asked why their programs were so streamlined,
these surgeons usually replied that they didn't want to lose business.
Many said, “these patients just want surgery so we provide it.”
Some of these surgeons believe if a patient has psychological or medical
issues before or after surgery that it is up to their primary care
physician to deal with. Others simply say they do not believe there
is a benefit to emotional or psychological help with bariatric surgery.
This attitude does not apply to ObesitySolutions. We are absolutely
committed to providing a comprehensive program of pre- and post-operative
education, therapy, nutrition counseling, and lifelong follow-up support.
If you are considering this life-altering surgery, look for a bariatric
center of excellence that is willing to help you from the beginning
and will not stop helping you once you are out of the operating room
and your bill is paid.
