Make Weight Loss Your
New Year's Resolution Livingston, N.J. -- At Saint Barnabas Medical Center, we realize that weight loss is a journey – not a destination. That is why we created The Weight Loss Institute of New Jersey. In order to be successful, it requires life-long changes and commitment. Saint Barnabas Medical Center’s Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence is led by accomplished laparoscopic bariatric surgeons who are respected members of the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery. Our goal is to develop a relationship with you and support you throughout your journey to better health. If you have tried and failed to lose weight, have a BMI of over 40 or a BMI of over 35 with obesity-related medical problems or are 80-100 pounds overweight, bariatric surgery may be the solution. Weight Loss Surgery Options will be held on Wednesday, January 6, 2010 at 6:00 p.m. in the Saint Barnabas Ambulatory Care Center, Conference Room A/B, 200 South Orange Avenue, Livingston, NJ. Michael Bilof, M.D., FACS, Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence physician will be the featured speaker along with members of the Weight Loss Institute of New Jersey. The Weight Loss Institute offers a comprehensive program so an individual not only receives surgery but also a lifestyle management program that helps achieve weight loss, minimizes potential complications with surgery, assists with psychological adjustments and promotes overall good health. With a comprehensive and collaborative approach to weight loss, our multidisciplinary team of physicians, nurses, bariatric navigator, dietitians, exercise physiologists and psychologists works with our patients throughout the whole process. The bariatric navigator is a primary resource to guide and assist patients throughout their journey --before, during and after surgery regardless of how long ago the surgery took place. To register for this free event, please call 1-888-724-7123. Free and convenient parking is available for this event. Date: December 18, 2009 Saint Barnabas Contact: [ top ] [ back to news index ] |
