Carmen Lost More than 100 Pounds with Gastric Bypass Surgery

At more than 300 pounds, Carmen had reached the point where she needed a "drastic" change. Listen to her story and how weight loss surgery changed her life.

CHOOSING A PROCEDURE
Bariatric surgery is just the first step in a lifelong commitment toward better health. When deciding if weight loss surgery is right for you, keep in mind that surgery is only tool. Your ultimate success depends on strict adherence to the recommended dietary, exercise and lifestyle changes. The goal is to live better, healthier and longer. After reviewing all the information and attending one of the free educational seminars with the New Jersey Bariatric Center team, you'll need to decide if you are ready to make that commitment.

The New Jersey Bariatric Center performs three surgeries that have resulted in successful weight loss and improved health for our patients: gastric bypass, gastric sleeve (also called a sleeve gastrectomy) and gastric band (LAP-BAND® or REALIZE® Band). Not all bariatric surgery procedures are the same. If you qualify for weight loss surgery, the New Jersey Bariatric Center team will guide you in deciding which procedure will give you the best chance for success based on factors such as your current weight and your ability to follow the post-surgical guidelines.
