Advice If You Are Considering Gastric Sleeve
Ann chose AtlantiCare not just for the bariatric surgeries we offer, but for the whole spectrum of bariatric care. When it comes to surgical weight loss, it’s crucial to have a support system. Someone to guide you through the process — before, during and after. And someone who’s willing to be honest about the commitment that surgical weight loss requires.
To her former self, Ann says, “You should’ve done it sooner. But thankfully you did it when you did.” Today, she’s down to a healthy weight and all of her health issues have improved — no more sleep apnea, diabetes, high blood pressure or gastric reflux.
And to patients considering surgery, Ann says, “Use it as a tool, not as a cure.” Bariatric surgery really needs to be part of a total lifestyle change. Exercise, diet and nutrition are still crucial to positive results and healthy weight loss.
