We are also one of a few programs nationally to offer the latest advanced incisionless surgery. The "ROSE" procedure is now available for patients who may have regained weight after gastric bypass surgery.
Considering Weight Loss Surgery?
Weight loss surgery has been endorsed by a consensus panel convened by The National Institute of Health (NIH) as the only effective means of inducing significant weight loss for the vast majority of patients with clinically severe obesity.
"With gastric bypass or lap band surgery patients have a tool that has proven to help patients lose weight and dramatically improve and eliminate the health related problems such as diabetes, hypertension and sleep apnea in the overwhelming majority of patients." Dr. Edward Pucci.
"Since the 1991 endorsement of gastric bypass surgery there have been significant enhancements to the procedure especially the ability to perform it through Minimally Invasive techniques like laparoscopic surgery. Additionally, the lap band offers patients another great option in minimally invasive weight loss surgery" Dr. Richard Pucci
"What also helps set us apart from other programs is our office staff. They are friendly and extremely helpful to our patients. We have one of the best support systems for our patients which includes our nutritionists, psychologists, insurance specialists and bariatric nurse specialists." Dr. Anthony Pucci
Obesity is a complex, multi-factorial chronic disease involving environmental, genetic, physiologic, metabolic, behavioral and psychological components. Obesity is now the second leading cause of preventable death in the U.S. after smoking. Here is where we come in. Our surgeons have been performing thousands of weight loss surgery operations and have undergone extensive training including fellowships in Bariatric and Minimally Invasive Surgery from large, prestigious University programs. They have been trained by world leading and renowned surgeons in the field of Bariatric and Minimally Invasive surgery. Our surgeons have been providing our patients years of experience to achieve safe, lasting results with the lowest possible risk.
