The Preopertive Program
We’ll work with you to complete a few important steps during the preopertive process. First, you and your surgeon will meet to discuss your health and answer your questions about surgery. Then you’ll need to have certain tests that your surgeon feels are necessary before you can safely proceed to surgery. You will also be scheduled to meet our LifeStyle Management Team. Finally, you’ll meet your surgeon again two weeks before surgery. Click here to read more details about the preopertive process.
LifeStyle Management Program
Our LifeStyle Management Team consists of dedicated psychologists, dietitians and exercise therapists. These specialists are important in your transformation to a healthier you, because they will help you learn all the healthy habits and behavioral techniques that can last for many years after surgery.
Special Programs
Adolescent Program
Einstein Bariatrics offers adolescent patients the attentive care and clinical expertise of a multidisciplinary team that includes surgeons, pediatricians, anesthesiologists, bariatric psychologists, pediatric dietitians, exercise physiologists and even esthecists (people who specialize in ethical principles). This team is trained to address the medical, surgical and emotional needs of adolescents.
Revisional Surgery Program
Bariatric surgery operations have been performed since the 1950s. Unlike the gastric bypass, a number of operations were performed that had only short-term success with a very high incidence of long-term failure or had an unacceptably high incidence of severe complications.
We can offer revisions to those patients who have had prior failed bariatric surgery, often through minimally invasive approaches.
