Bariatric Surgery Treatment Plans
Patients whose lives are being dramatically affected by severe obesity can take significant steps to lose weight and reduce serious risks to their health. One option that has proven effective for those who are not making progress with traditional diet and exercise is bariatric weight loss surgery. The Long Island Plastic Surgical Group partners with bariatric , nutritionists, psychologists, dietitians, physical trainers, and other experts offering advanced surgical weight loss programs. These programs are designed to help you through the entire weight loss process with the goal of ensuring you are losing weight safely and adjusting to changes in your lifestyle and dietary habits. Weight loss surgery options available from some of our partner bariatric surgeons include:
- Adjustable Gastric Banding
- Gastric Bypass Surgery
- Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy (Gastric Sleeve Surgery)
These procedures are some of the latest and most innovative surgical weight loss techniques available. Although the actual surgery is the most prominent component, a surgical weight loss program entails a comprehensive approach designed to help patients both physically and psychologically. Bariatric surgeons and surgery centers partnering with LIPSG offer a variety of helpful services as part of their surgical weight loss programs, including:
- Nutrition Counseling
- Psychological Counseling
- Lifestyle Counseling
- Dietary and Exercise Guides
- Support Groups
- Aftercare
These extensive weight loss programs are created to attend to your individual needs and assist you down the road to healthier living. Plus, since bariatric surgery procedures are often considered medical necessities, many insurance providers offer coverage to help with costs, and financing options are typically available to help patients bring weight loss surgery into their budget.
Post-Bariatric Surgery
Once your weight loss surgery is complete, the next several months are spent adjusting to a new diet. Over this period, you should be experiencing significant weight loss and noticing the changes in your body. For the most part, these are welcome changes as your figure slims down and you get used to healthier eating and a regular exercise routine. However, the excess skin and folds that often occur after weight loss can be difficult to get rid of even with the most rigorous physical exercise regimen. This loose, overhanging skin can be very frustrating to patients who have worked hard and taken dramatic steps to lose weight, and yet are not as pleased with their appearance as they would like to be. Working with your bariatric surgery team, LIPSG can custom-design a post-bariatric cosmetic and reconstructive surgery treatment plan to sculpt body areas, tighten the skin, and eliminate excess fat deposits for a more fit, toned appearance. Our plastic surgeons and staff work with you to determine which cosmetic enhancement procedures will be most beneficial to your needs. We offer procedures such as liposuction, arm lift, thigh lift, body lift, pannulectomy, tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), breast lift, torso lift, and more that can significantly improve your aesthetic and help you look and feel your best.
