Connecticut Weight Loss Surgery
The consensus statement from the ASMBS, along with research from the most respected medical journals, concludes that bariatric surgery is the most effective therapy available for morbid obesity.
You may be a candidate for weight loss surgery if:
- You are at least 18 years of age
- You have a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or more (or at least 35 with one or more obesity related health conditions) or are at least 100 pounds overweight
- You are considering LAP-BAND surgery and have a BMI of at least 30 with one or more obesity related health conditions, or are at least 50 pounds overweight
- You have been overweight for at least 5 years
- Traditional weight loss programs have failed you
- You do not have any serious health conditions that prevent you from having surgery
Today, there are many safe and effective options for the surgical treatment of morbid obesity. Ehrlich Bariatrics specializes in Roux-en-Y Gastric bypass surgery and adjustable gastric banding surgery, two of the most proven bariatric surgeries to date. Ehrlich Bariatrics also offers the sleeve gastrectomy (gastric sleeve surgery). Dr. Tim Ehrlich has performed over 2,000 procedures in the state of Connecticut.
At Ehrlich Bariatrics, surgery is typically performed laparoscopically, using minimally invasive techniques that minimize associated surgical risks. Surgery takes place at a nearby hospital or outpatient surgery center, which means that you may be able to go home the same day.
