Pre-Operative Evaluation Morbid Obesity is a very common problem in the USA as well as the rest of the developed world. Patients interested in Bariatric Surgery need to be well-informed to make sure that this is the right choice for them. We have monthly Education Seminars as well as Pre-Surgical Education Classes and Support Group Sessions. We provide much of the information to our patient during our office surgical consultation. We work along side the primary care physicians who assist us with thorough pre-operative evaluations. Dr. Marshall sees all of his patients in the office for follow-up care where they get the personal attention of the Surgeon. We plan on life-long follow-up with at least yearly visits to check necessary laboratory testing and to make sure our patients stay on track with necessary vitamins, minerals and life-style changes. ‘It is crucial that patients see a Bariatric Surgeon knowledgeable in the follow-up care of bariatric patients to make sure they have continued successes.
Bariatric Performed Dr. Marshall performs both Open and Laparoscopic Roux-En-‘Y’ Gastrojejunostomy (Gastric Bypass). This includes both short and long limb procedures needed for larger patients with a Body Mass Index (BMI) over 50. Dr. Marshall also is experienced in performing bariatric Revisional procedures which is usually a repair or conversion of a failed previous bariatric surgery. Many of the earlier operations such as Gastroplasty (stomach stapling) and Lap-Band are unsuccessful and we usually convert to a Gastric Bypass. There are many other operations which have been used for surgical weight loss such as the Intestinal Bypass (now no longer performed due to side-effects), Biliopancreatic Diversion (BPD) and Duodenal Switch. These are mostly malabsorptive procedures that have long-term complications regarding nutritional deficiencies. Gastric Bypass is a much safer procedure with exceptional results and a low incidence of short and long-term complications.
Bariatric Plastic Procedures After the weight loss, many patients are interested in having the extra skin and fat removed from the abdomen, upper arms, legs and other areas. Dr. Marshall has had considerable experience in performing Abdominoplasty (removal of excess skin from the lower abdomen), Brachioplasty (removal of excess skin from the upper under arms) and Thigh Plasty (removal of excess skin from the upper, inner thighs). We are associated with other plastic surgeons who perform all of the other plastic procedures patients may seek after extreme weight lost such as breast-lift (mastopexy), augmentation (breast implants), breast reduction, facial plastics, liposuction and other procedures.
