Baptist Health Weight-loss Surgery offers safe and effective ways to help you eat less, lose those extra pounds and change your life. Individuals who are more than 100 pounds overweight are considered morbidly obese. If you fall into this category, you may suffer from: Heart Disease High Blood Pressure Cancer Type 2 Diabetes Arthritis Infertility Breathing Difficulties Depression Stroke Bariatric surgery reduces the size of your stomach and limits the number of calories you absorb. It prompts hormonal changes that reduce your hunger and appetite and help you feel full faster and with fewer calories. When used alongside a balanced diet and exercise, the results can be life-changing. Baptist Health Weight-loss Surgery offers some of the most advanced care options in the region, including robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery. We also offer patients the Enhanced Recovery after Surgery (ERAS®) program to help them succeed following their weight-loss surgery procedure. This program is designed to: Minimize complications Shorten recovery time Decrease hormonal stress related to surgery ERAS® starts with pre-surgery medication to prevent pain and nausea and a special liquid diet that eliminates the need for a pre-surgery fast. After-surgery care eliminates the standard tubes and drains and includes early mobility and rehydration for best results. You deserve customized solutions that take your individual health needs and weight-loss history into account. Our team partners with you throughout every phase of your weight loss.
