Why is there such a difference in post op diet?
Different diets after sleeve gastrectomy
May 14, 2022
Every surgeon is different when it comes to how quickly they progress someone’s diet after bariatric surgery. As a bariatric surgeon I used to follow that time frame you are describing and then over time allowed the full liquid phase to start earlier. The main reason why the phases are set is to prevent leak before the stomach is fully healed. It takes approximately 6 weeks to be about 85% healed at the staple line where you are out of the woods from a leak. I know that if the diet is p...
Am I a good candidate for gastric sleeve surgery?
Qualifications for bariatric surgery
Apr 10, 2022
Based on your height and weight you would qualify for bariatric surgery. Your Body Mass Index is 47.5. A BMI of greater than 40 qualifies you for bariatric surgery with insurance. The question is if your company has elected for your insurance company to cover bariatric surgery. I would contact your HR department. In order for bariatric surgery to be effective it must be combined with diet and exercise. It is a tool to help you reset your set point which is what causes people to yo-yo and...
I'm 5'5 and 275lb. Weight comes from my stomach. What is the best procedure for me?
Sleeve Gastrectomy to help with abdominal weight
Apr 10, 2022
I would highly recommend a sleeve gastrectomy instead of an aesthetic procedure such as a tummy tuck or liposuction. The weight you would want to lose is mainly inside the abdomen. This fat is what's responsible to eventually cause metabolic diseases such as hypertenson, diabetes and cardiac disease. You may not have these medical problems now but will likely develop these diseases over time. Liposuction and a tummy tuck does not decrease this fat. I have a lot of patients who have had a...
How to improve abdomen with minimum invasive techniques?
Improve abdominal appearance
Aug 8, 2021
I would first have the umbilical hernia repaired which is imperative prior to using the Emsculpt Neo which I would recommend. You can start the Neo 6 weeks after the umbilical hernia repair. I would also recommend Morpheus8 body to help tighten the skin and improve the texture of the skin.
When is it safe to have Emsculpt after gallbladder surgery?
Emsculpt after laparoscopic surgery
Jun 26, 2021
I would wait at least 6 weeks after any abdominal surgery and longer if you have any pain at any incision site especially the umbilical site. If there is any chance you may have a hernia at an incision site you should not perform Emsculpt until that incision/hernia is repaired. If you have any questions about your incision site I would contact your surgeon.
Emsculpt Neo - Time between treatments?
Emsculpt Neo time between treatments
Jun 26, 2021
For the plain Emsculpt you would need at least 2 days between treatments for your muscles to recover. With the new Emsculpt Neo which combines both HIFEM and RF you would need at least 5-10 days to recover. In our practice we perform one treatment a week. This is the usual timeframe for our RF devices as well. This is what I would recommend for both the muscles to recover and to maximize the RF treatments. Hope that helps!

Treatment of orange appearance
Apr 22, 2019
Hi there,
Thank you for your question! I would recommend Morpheus 8 treatment to help with the orange peel appearance. The Morpheus8 remodels and contours the face and body using a combination of radio-frequency and micro-needles to penetrate the dermis. Penetrating deep into the skin and fat, this morphs the aging face or body into a more desired smooth and sleek appearance, for all skin tones. It is proven to help tighten, firm, and stimulate collagen production,...
