Considering Weight Loss Surgery? Losing 50-70% of Excess Weight is Just The Beginning!
The U.S. National Institute of Health (NIH) recommends weight loss surgery and has endorsed weight loss surgery as the only effective means of inducing significant weight loss for the vast majority of severely obese patients.
"With weight loss surgery, patients have a tool that has been proven to help them lose weight and dramatically improve or 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, gastric banding and sleeve gastrectomy offer patients two great additional options 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
All of our surgeons have the highest training available in their specialty. They have completed extensive fellowships in minimally invasive bariatric surgery from large, prestigious universities including The George Washington University and The Virginia Commonwealth University. One of the most recognized bariatric surgical groups in the nation, our surgeons help to improve the lives of thousands of people through bariatric weight loss surgery.
Obesity is a complex, multi-factorial chronic disease involving environmental, genetic, metabolic, and behavioral components. Obesity is now the second leading cause of preventable death in the U.S. after smoking. Here is where we come in. Our bariatric surgeons have been performing and caring for thousands of weight loss surgery patients. We believe our multi-disciplinary approach and comprehensive support, both pre-operative and post-operative, provide patients the tools for success.
