Middlesex Hospital Center for Weight Loss Surgery

Dr. Jonathan Aranow, Founder and Medical Director for Middlesex Hospital Center for Weight Loss Surgery, was in the studio to discuss the seriousness of morbid obesity; a chronic disease that affects over 25% of American adults and 14% of American children. 

People who are severely over weight are at a much greater risk for developing illnesses such as diabetes, heart disease and respiratory illnesses to mention a few.  To further complicate their issues, studies have shown that in morbidly obese individuals, diet and exercise interventions are rarely successful in the long-term.  That’s where bariatric surgeries come in to play.

Dr. Aranow wants everyone to know there is help out there.  Technology has advanced greatly in recent years and Middlesex Hospital Center for Weightloss is at the forefront of those advances.  Among the many options offered by Middlesex Hospital, the newest approach to weight loss surgery is the use of the da Vinci SI robotic surgical system.  This is a minimally invasive technique enables surgeons to reduce recovery time after surgery so that patients can get back to their lives and families much quicker and with fewer complications than traditional surgical procedures.
