Einstein Bariatrics - Responses to your concerns

Weight Loss Surgery Center serving Eastern Pennsylvania

Responses to Your Concerns

“I've gone on diets, achieved short term, moderate success then gained the weight right back.”

Stop the cycle of weight loss failure – surgical weight loss is a proven method to cure obesity. Significant weight loss can be maintained for decades – when performed by expert surgeons and accompanied by long term support and aftercare.

“To control my diabetes and other medical conditions I was taking as many as nine medications a day.”

Bariatric surgery has benefits far beyond its most visible results: dramatic weight loss. After surgery many chronic illnesses markedly improve. Most post-surgical patients have discontinued multiple medications previously required due to obesity-induced disorders.

“My lower back and knee pain are so intense – so much so that dancing, walking and bike riding are a distant memory. Shopping for clothes is something I've dreaded for the last 10 years.”

Einstein Bariatrics team is committed to help you adapt to your new lifestyle and take advantage of your newly regained health.

“I have never undergone surgery before, so I am not sure what to expect. I am nervous about pain after surgery. I wonder how long my hospital stay will be and when I can return to work full time.”

Hospital stay is often one night and patients can often return to work within a week. Our goal is to improve patient quality of life, improve overall medical condition and increase life expectancy.

“This decision is a bit overwhelming. I need all the information upfront and access to the doctors and nurses to talk through my questions and concerns.”

Our expertise does not stop in the operating room. Einstein Bariatrics offers its own psychologists, nutritionists, physical therapists as well as organized support groups and personalized hands-on care to help you make a seamless transition into your regained health allowing you to enjoy your new beginning.
