Dr. Padovan’s Philosophy on Weight Loss
Surgery
Bariatric (Obesity) surgery—permanently diminishing the
volume of the stomach in order to limit caloric intake—is a
serious procedure that should be performed only in very obese
people who have been carefully screened to ensure that this is
the best way for them to lose their life-threatening excess body
fat. Therefore, the first step will be a detailed consultation
with you, the patient. We will work closely together to ensure
that your wishes are understood and respected, to assess your
overall medical condition, and to make sure that you understand
the risks and benefits of bariatric (obesity) surgery. Whether
or not surgery turns out to be the answer for you, every effort
will be made to find the appropriate solution for your specific
condition.
In any event, surgery is only the first step on the road to
permanent weight loss. Long term success requires significant
dietary and lifestyle changes. That’s why we work with a
qualified team of dietitians and other professionals to help you
achieve your goal of lifetime weight maintenance. Thousands of
individuals like you have succeeded in achieving this goal. If
you stay the course, you can do the same. The rewards are high:
promise of a longer life, more energy, improved self esteem, and
an overall more positive outlook.
An integral part of our complete service is the elimination of
unsightly and troublesome excessive skin that is often a
byproduct of weight-loss surgery. Depending on the patient,
cosmetic improvement can be brought about by abdominoplasty,
brachioplasty and thigh reductions. Dr. Padovan is qualified to
perform all of these procedures and has performed them many
times. Ultimately, maintaining weight loss is a lifelong
commitment on the part of the patient and the physician alike.
That’s why Dr. Padovan follows his patients over the long term
and help to coordinate appropriate help if complications should
arise.
