Bariatric Surgery At Bayshore Community Hospital
Life-Changing Surgery Can Help You Live Healthier
Q. What does your waist size reveal?
A. From diabetes and heart disease to lack of confidence and joint problems, your waist size can practically predict your future.
When traditional weight-loss options don't work, individuals 100 pounds or more overweight finally have a new option--bariatric surgery. At Bayshore Community Health Services, our quality and caring team members make certain your every need is met before, during and after bariaric surgery to ensure optimum results.
Prior to surgery, candidates are carefully screened. During this time, potential patients are educated on what occurs during the procedure, lifestyle modifications necessary following the surgery, and the effect bariatric surgery can have on all aspects of an individual's life.
During surgery, a small pouch is created at the top of the stomach. For gastric bypass surgery, a portion of the small intestine is then attached to the pouch, forcing food to skip much of the stomach and a portion of the small intestine. The Lap-Band procedure involves placing an adjustable, removable band around the stomach. Both procedures make the patient feel full faster and reduce the calories absorbed by the body.
Following surgery, patients are given guidance in making dietary and exercise changes that must last a lifetime for the best outcome. In the event a patient needs assistance keeping on track, a Bayshore expert is always ready and willing to lend a helping hand.

Endo-Surgical Associates Group
Individuals considering bariatric surgery deserve the best. Fortunately,
Bayshore Community Health Services is dedicated to providing just that.
Thanks to Morris Washington, M.D., F.A.C.S., residents of Central New
Jersey have access to a surgeon who has performed hundreds of
weight-loss surgeries over the past few years. Along with weight-loss
surgery, Dr. Washington, who was trained in New York, performs
gastrointestinal endoscopy and advanced laparoscopic or minimally
invasive surgery. "Because I am performing procedures that are usually only available in larger cities like New York or Philadelphia, and because these procedures are so cutting-edge, our patients are receiving unique services for this area," says Dr. Washington. Dr. Washington's practice is Endo-Surgical Associates. |
