Why should an individual come to NYU Program
for Surgical Weight-Loss for their Lap-Band surgery?
The NYU Program for Surgical Weight Loss is a comprehensive program designed to meet the medical, surgical, and emotional needs of the severely obese patient.
Like millions of Americans, you’ve tried countless combinations of diet and exercise to lose weight or to keep it off — probably without success. The hard truth is that only about two percent of those who are obese can ever reach and maintain their ideal body weight. However, it’s vital to find a solution that works for you. Morbid obesity is a serious health threat, vastly increasing your chances of developing diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure and suffering premature death.
| WE KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GOING THROUGH. In fact, not only does one of our nurses have a Lap-Band, but
our surgeon Dr. Fielding has one! They know what it's like
to overcome morbid obesity. |
Fortunately, there is a safe and effective solution for many people who are severely overweight: bariatric surgery. Weight loss surgery is not a quick fix, and it’s not for everyone who is obese. However, when combined with a life-long commitment to proper nutrition and exercise, bariatric surgery can help you lose those excess pounds and maintain a healthy weight, offering you a second chance at life.
The NYU Program for Surgical Weight Loss, one of most highly regarded and experienced centers of its kind, offers several types of bariatric surgery, including the laparoscopic adjustable gastric band, or Lap-Band — the safest, least invasive, and only reversible surgical option now available. NYU is one of only two centers nationwide approved to perform Lap-Band surgery for adolescents, as well as for adults. We also provide follow-up care and perform surgical revisions for patients whose weight-loss surgery was performed elsewhere.
We invite you to browse our Web site, where you can learn more about obesity, bariatric surgery, and our surgeons, and determine if weight loss surgery is right for you.
