Obesity Surgery Brooklyn, NYC

Obesity is one of our nation's largest health problems. If you have tried diet and exercise with little or no success, then a better answer may be out there. Obesity Surgery has helped many overweight people lose weight that may have caused serious health problems. Dr. John L. Holup, DO and his team at the Beth Israel Medical Center have performed this life changing technique on many people in the Brooklyn, NYC area.

Over 80 million people in the United States are obese. This number may be surprising but many people are not educated on the importance of eating healthy and staying fit. Proper diet and exercise are essential in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. However, eating right and exercising may not prevent you from becoming obese. Obesity is largely the result of genetics, which determines your body type and the speed of your metabolism. Obesity can make you much more prone to a number of diseases and it is important to see doctors if you think you are at risk. Bariatric surgery is a new solution that has helped many people lose the necessary weight that they need to. The process physically shrinks the size of the stomach and makes a patient less hungry. The body burns the excess fat that already exists and patients generally see results right away.

- Type 2 Diabetes
- High Blood pressure or Heart Disease
