UF Weight Loss Surgery Center
"Combining
Surgery, Diet, and Exercise to Change Lives"
Bariatric,
or weight loss, surgery is a rapidly growing intervention for
the management of morbid obesity. It is important to know that
surgery is a "tool" not a cure, and is to be used when other
measures have been unsuccessful.
UF surgeons offer minimally
invasive Bariatric surgeries through the Shands at UF Weight
Loss Surgery Center. The multidisciplinary center offers a
comprehensive treatment approach allowing the surgeon to consult
with a team of professionals, including psychiatrists,
nutritionists, cardiologists and other health care providers. The center brings together a
healthcare team, caring for the whole patient, not just their
surgical needs. |
