ARE YOU STRUGGLING WITH OBESITY?

Many people today are affected by obesity— sometimes weighing more than 100 pounds over their ideal weight. Obesity can cause very serious health problems, like heart disease, type 2 diabetes, hypertension (high blood pressure), sleep apnea, respiratory illness, depression, and more. Obesity can also cause women to suffer from menstrual irregularity and even infertility. Recently, obesity has been linked to increase risk of developing certain cancers and even earlier death.

“SOLUTIONS” THAT DON’T REALLY WORK

There are many causes of obesity. Diet and exercise may not always fix the problem. If you’ve tried diet and exercise without success, perhaps now is the time to consider a different tool. Metabolic surgery (also known as Bariatric Surgery) is an under-utilized tool that has been proven to work and is often overlooked.

REAL, LONG-TERM WEIGHT LOSS

There is a way to achieve long-term healthy weight loss. It’s called metabolic or bariatric surgery and is available at the Center for Bariatric Surgery at Pascack Valley Medical Center. With metabolic or bariatric surgery, weight loss is achieved by one of two operations. The most common procedure performed is known as “Sleeve Gastrectomy. Another option, especially useful for Diabetics, is known as “Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass.” Both are done through minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques.

BARIATRIC SURGERY WORKS, FOR LIFE

Long-term studies show that metabolic or bariatric surgery can result in significant long-term weight loss, leading to improved heart disease, type 2 diabetes, hypertension (high blood pressure), sleep apnea, as well as mental health. These operations take an hour to complete and use minimally invasive incisions with minimal post-operative pain. Hospital stay is less than 2 days and return to work is within 2 weeks.
