Successful bariatric weight loss allows people to do things that they haven\u2019t been able to do in a long time. They have more energy and lead more active lives. <u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.obesityhelp.com\/profiles\/bariatric-surgeon\/dr-ragui-sadek\/\">According to Dr. Ragui Sadek<\/a>,<\/u> the founder of Advanced Surgical &amp; Bariatrics of NJ, PA:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe one thing about bariatric surgery that\u2019s different from any other procedure is that you see patients\u2019 transformations. Life for them completely changes \u2014 psychologically, medically and socially. Patients are happier. They\u2019re smiling, buying new clothes and going out. They are having a social life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The surgeons at ASBNJ follow up with patients for three to five years after surgery. Counselors and nutritionists are available to help you overcome obstacles and stay on course. Most patients regret that they didn\u2019t have the surgery sooner.<\/p>\n<h2>A NJ Hernia Center That\u2019s Changed Many Lives<\/h2>\n<p>Hernia Surgery has become a specialty all on its own, and it can be daunting to try to find a hernia surgeon with the proper training and experience, especially for patients with prior failed hernia repairs.  According to Dr. Lora Melman, the Director of The Hernia Center at Advanced Surgical &#038; Bariatrics of NJ, PA: \u201cHernia repairs can fail for the any of a combination of the following reasons\u2014failure of patient preoptimization, failure of technique, or failure of materials used.\u201d  The surgeons at ASBNJ will do a full assessment of you and your risk factors and determine if there are changes that need to be made before surgery (e.g. nicotine cessation, blood sugar control, weight loss).  They will also select the best technique(s) and material(s) to help you achieve your optimal outcome after hernia surgery. <\/p>\n<h2>Modern Conveniences and Full Support<\/h2>\n<p>ASBNJ offers more than just weight-loss programs; they provide valuable information. In fact, patient education is one of their primary goals. They know that when you have all the information you need, you\u2019ll make the best decision for your health. So the doctors and staff deliver:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Educational seminars and webinars that cover the gamut of weight-loss alternatives<\/li>\n<li>Bi-weekly patient education workshops because everyone needs time to adjust to a new lifestyle<\/li>\n<li>Monthly support groups with a patient coordinator and bariatric dietitian on hand<\/li>\n<li>Virtual visits when necessary, given the new developments in technology<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Additionally, the practice recognizes its responsibility to help their patients through the obstacles of the medical system.
