Surgilite Bariatric Management (Surgilite) is an information and referral source for morbidly obese individuals (BMI of 40) considering bariatric (weight loss) surgical treatment. This is done through a comprehensive approach that includes initial screening, providing preliminary information to assist patients in understanding the importance of treating obesity, a chronic disease with multiple and complex causes that is ineffectively treated by non-surgical medical and dietary intervention.
Patients are referred to Bariatric surgeons who will consult individually with you in order to explain the surgical procedures, its benefits, risks in details as well as different types of operations performed, and alternatives and complications associated with weight loss surgery. Other consultants include internists, pulmonologists (lung doctors), cardiologists, gastroenterologists, nutritionists and dieticians.
