Gastric Bypass Surgery Westchester, New York

Gastric Bypass Surgery Westchester, New York


Obesity has become a serious health risk in the country, plaguing millions of Americans. It is essential for one to treat this problem before it escalates into a life-threatening medical condition, be it diabetes, hypertension, or heart disease. If you find you are resistant to weight loss, then you are potentially at risk of the aforementioned illnesses. Gastric bypass surgery at the Lawrence Hospital Center for Advanced Surgery in Westchester, New York can change the way you live your life. There, a group of well-trained bariatric experts can perform this procedure using the utmost caution and care, so that you can be at your ideal weight and state of wellness.


Gastric bypass surgery is a procedure that surgically shrinks the size of the stomach, so that food can bypass part of the small intestine. This creates a sensation of fullness from smaller food portions, which in turn decreases the amount of food consumed and results in the absorption of less calories. This allows for individuals to lose weight with much more ease and it often increases natural metabolism when coupled with healthy life choices like exercises.


The staff at Lawrence Hospital Center consists of skilled bariatric surgeons, nutritionists, pulmonologists, endocrinologists, gastroenterologists, and psychologists. All are knowledgeable and well-trained in their fields and the vast-majority are Board Certified.
