Obesity has long been proclaimed a public health issue
in the United States, because of its widespread
affectation, and its impact on the well being and the
survival of the 15% of the population known to suffer
from it.
The various conservative therapeutic
approaches to this condition, although all effective,
are also characterized by their short life, their lack
of sustained results.
For those qualified, the surgical treatment on the
other hand has not only guaranteed a lasting effect but
it has also impacted quite favorably on their co-morbid
conditions: Hypertension, Diabetes, Coronary Artery
Disease and others, by correcting them or by
facilitating their management.
The most popular procedure in the US for Morbid
Obesity is the Roux-en-Y Gastric By pass, introduced
already in the South Jersey area by various groups,
providing the Open Standard Technique.
The Echelon Bariatric Group is pleased indeed to
offer this option of a “Laparoscopic approach” which
has been better tolerated, with less invasion, less
post operative complication, less discomfort, and also
most sought by patients.
Our experience as well as those reported in the medical
literature has been very supportive of these claims.
Echelon Bariatric invites you to consider this
alternative, right in the South Jersey area, in order
to avoid you any trip to Philadelphia or New York.
