Obesity is a complex medical condition associated with numerous health risks, including hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and high cholesterol. Addressing weight issues is not merely about aesthetics; it’s about improving your overall health and quality of life. NYU Langone is accredited by the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP), recognizing our commitment to high-quality, patient-centered care for both adolescents and adults seeking weight management solutions.
Why Choose a Weight Control Doctor for Weight Loss?
Weight control doctors, also known as bariatric physicians or obesity specialists, possess specialized expertise in diagnosing and treating obesity and related conditions. They go beyond general practitioners by offering in-depth knowledge of the various factors contributing to weight gain and the most effective strategies for sustainable weight loss. These specialists can provide a comprehensive approach, considering medical history, lifestyle, and individual goals to create tailored treatment plans.
Surgical Expertise in Weight Management
For some individuals, surgery can be the most effective path toward significant weight loss and improved health. NYU Langone’s weight control doctors include highly skilled surgeons who are experts in performing a range of weight loss surgeries. These procedures include:
- Gastric Sleeve
- Gastric Bypass
- Single Anastomosis Duodeno-Ileal Bypass with Sleeve Gastrectomy (SADI-S)
- One-Anastomosis Gastric Bypass (OABG)
- Laparoscopic Band (Lap-Band)
Our surgeons are proficient in minimally invasive laparoscopic and robotic techniques, which translate to smaller incisions, reduced discomfort, and faster recovery times for patients compared to traditional open surgery. They are supported by a dedicated team of anesthesiologists, operating room staff, and nurses specially trained in the care of patients with obesity.
