The success of elective surgery, consists in two major decisions. The first is: the selection of the surgical team by the patient, and second: the selection of the patient by the surgeon, always considering individuality and safety over anything else.

Ethic and responsability are values that Obesity Choices Surgeons have practice on their proffesional life. When you review their resume, you will find that the three Surgeons have been certified in France by other surgeons considered world authority in the field of obesity surgery.

The experience, skills and background of Obesity Choices surgeons, makes them the team of your choice.

When selecting your surgical team, you need to know that band placement is not the end of obesity treatment, but the first step for weight loss. Keep in mind that “the Achilles tendon” of obesity surgery, could be what happens after the band placement. Two members of Obesity Choices team are diplomate in nutrition, they will answer the questions that you may have when lossing weight, or assist you when you are not lossing it, as you expected.

Dr. Gutierrez has establish a protocol that makes this elective surgical procedure, a pleasant experience. Beginning with the patient selection process, the patients medical history and effects of obesity in actual health, will be asked with the intention of treating every patient on individual basis. Before the surgical procedure, every patient is cleared by a cardiologyst, who will perform EKG and will review pre operative laboratory tests and chest X ray. If necessary, the cardiologyst suggestions will be part of the surgical procedure and treatment.
