The Bariatric Surgery program at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Hamilton (RWJ Hamilton) offers patients the most advanced clinical treatment for weight loss enabling patients to overcome the most damaging health effects of being overweight. The program is under the medical direction of board certified bariatric surgeon Earl Noyan, MD, a member of the American Society for Bariatric Surgery (ASBS).
Through a team approach, candidates are evaluated and pre-existing conditions are taken into consideration. Patients receive education on procedure options, risks, outcomes, potential side effects, and lifestyle modifications. Progress is monitored and strict dietary and exercise regimens are instituted. Patients are paired with clinical professionals, exercise specialists, nutritionists and support staff to provide a full continuum of services and counseling.
Whether or not to have weight-loss surgery is an important life decision. To help you decide if bariatric surgery is the right choice for you, RWJ Hamilton offers monthly support group meetings, ongoing dietary/nutritional classes (including pre-operative and post-operative nutritional counseling), bariatric specific educational seminars with invited guest speakers.
The Bariatric (Weight Loss) Program is part of RWJ Hamilton's extensive weight management program. For more information on this and other weight management options, contact HealthConnection at (609) 584-5900.
