care for patients undergoing Bariatric Surgery. The Bariatric

Thanks To My Bariatric Surgery Team
I Will Be:
Louis G. Fares II, M.D., F.A.C.S. and David R. Hertzog, M.D., F.A.C.S.,
all Board
Certified Surgeons with years of surgical experience and 25 years
laparoscopic
expertise, lead this comprehensive program. John Bock, MS,
RD, CNSD, a
Registered Dietician, coordinates the team approach in guiding each
individual patient through the pre and post-operative process. The
Magnet
status nursing staff provides extraordinary
care for our patients
throughout their entire hospital visit.
We have updated our facility with state-of-the-art equipment
specifically for our patients. Surgical options, which are available,
include Laparoscopic or Open Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass and Laparoscopic
Gastric Banding.
Medical problems associated with obesity such as diabetes, high blood
pressure, heart disease, sleep apnea and osteoarthritis can be improved
or resolved after weight loss surgery. Talk with your primary care
physician if you wish to have a consultation to begin your road to
successful weight loss.
We have developed a "patient-driven" support group that
meets the last Tuesday of each month. This gives our patients the
opportunity to help others and discuss topics associated with their
experiences. Please call (609) 585-1400 for additional information.
Contact us at The Center for Advanced Weight Loss, 609-585-1400
for any questions or to make an appointment.
