I under­stand the effects of being over­weight and spe­cial­ize in the cause, pre­ven­tion and treat­ment of obe­si­ty. While exer­cise and lifestyle changes help indi­vid­u­als lose weight, I per­form bariatric surgery that has also assist­ed their long-term weight loss, as well as recov­ery from dia­betes, and improve­ment in car­dio­vas­cu­lar risk fac­tors, among oth­er health improvements.
