Cooper Clinic Surgical Weight Loss Program
With
Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Surgery, dramatic changes take place soon after
surgery and last for a lifetime when accompanied by appropriate lifestyle
changes. Patients generally lose 2/3 to 3/4 of their excess weight within
18 months. As patients start to lose weight, they also experience a reduction
or elimination of obesity-related health problems such as diabetes, hypertension,
sleep apnea, urinary stress incontinence, severe acid reflux, and osteoarthritis.
A healthier, more active life becomes possible.
The Cooper Clinic Surgical Weight Loss Program can help patients who are committed to lifelong behavior modification, regain their health and enjoyment of living. While weight loss surgery is not a quick-fix, it is a life-changing event that can help provide a healthier, more active life.
