Minimally Invasive Weight-loss Surgery September 8, 2010

Obesity is a serious health epidemic that targets one in four Americans. It contributes
to a wide variety of medical conditions that cause poor health and early death. If you
are 100 pounds overweight and other weight loss treatments haven’t worked, you
may be a candidate for a specialized surgery that uses small incisions to place a soft,
adjustable band around part of the stomach, which decreases hunger
and results in reliable weight loss. Approved by the FDA in 2001 for
use in the U.S., this device temporarily slows digestion and limits how
much you can eat. Patients report feeling full, with less of an appetite,
while still eating less. Robert Cahn, M.D., board certified general
surgery specialist on the Tuality Healthcare medical staff, will explain
the procedure and answer your questions.
