Delmarva Bariatric Center is committed to
excellence in the field of bariatric surgery. We recognize that
outcomes are not only measured by surgical performance, but also
in terms of the pre- and aftercare needed for a patient to make
a successful transition to a healthy lifestyle.
Accordingly,
we have a structured Weight Reduction Management Program that
is mandatory, and begins concurrently with your initial physician
consultation. While some patients perform admirably without comprehensive
management of the non-medical component of obesity, they have
a significantly better opportunity for success if that program
is present.Your Weight Reduction Management Program includes:
- Membership in our fitness center for twelve months
- Weekly meeting groups providing support, education
and occasional guest speaker
- Monthly nutrition class
- Four sessions with our personal trainer. Two in
the gym to establish your exercise regimen, and two on a consultative basis
to discuss options to improve your nutrition
- Impedence Plethysmography / Body Composition analysis
to determine body fat percentage
- Eating Well After Weight Loss Surgery and Eating for Life,
which provide the core to our nutritional program
- All data tracked over time with a computer printout to monitor
progress
