Weight Loss Surgery Zoom

Bariatric Medicine focuses on treating and managing obesity, and other related health conditions, through surgical and non-surgical options. This delivers a comprehensive approach to care based on patient-specific characteristics and goals. There are minimally invasive surgical procedures that make the stomach smaller, allowing the patient to feel satisfied with less food and fewer calories. Dr. Konstantinos Spaniolas, Director of the Stony Brook Bariatric & Metabolic Weight Loss Center, will discuss all the surgical and medical options currently offered at Stony Brook which are safe and are proven to work, and which also reduce or eliminate many of the related health problems that obesity can cause. This program is sponsored by Stony Brook Southampton Hospital.
