Weight Loss Surgery San Jose, California
Are you morbidly obese? Have you tried dieting and exercise but experience no change in your weight? Are you thinking about getting weight loss surgery, but don't know where to start? If so, Dr. Robert McKeen at South Bay Bariatrics in San Jose, CA can answer your questions and address your concerns, and help you determine whether weight loss surgery is the right option for you.
Weight loss surgery is an effective way to treat morbid obesity. Although dieting and exercise can be effective short-term weight loss treatments, they are extremely ineffective as long-term treatments. The most effective long-term weight loss treatment is weight loss surgery. Studies show that only 5% of patients using non-surgical weight loss programs lose a significant amount of weight and keep it off for a long period of time. On the other hand, studies show that one year after weight loss surgery, weight loss can average 77% of excess body weight and after 10 to 14 years, 50-60% of excess body weight loss has been maintained by some patients.
Dr. McKeen, MD offers a number of weight loss surgeries including:
- LAP-BAND® placement
- Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass
- Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass via laparotomy
In order for weight loss surgery to be effective, it needs to be followed up with a long term multidisciplinary approach. At South Bay Bariatrics, they add to the surgical treatment of obesity with nutritional, physiotherapy/exercise and psychological support. Their approach is in keeping with the guidelines set up by the American Society for Bariatric Surgery (ASBS) and Society of American Gastrointestinal Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES).
After getting weight loss surgery, your health can be improved, your risk of developing associated conditions or diseases can be reduced, and the quality of your life can be enhanced. Call Dr. Robert McKeen at South Bay Bariatrics in San Jose, California today to find out if you%u2019re a good candidate for the procedure.
