Bariatric Surgery A Cleveland

Bariatric surgery alters the digestive system - through creation of a smaller or "restrictive" stomach, a decrease in food absorption, or both, in order to achieve weight loss. For many, it is the single most effective long-term weight-loss approach: depending on the specific surgery undergone, patients can lose up to 80 percent of their excess body weight. The Cleveland Clinic Guide, which includes case studies and illustrations, gives potential bariatric patients what they need the most: substantive information from a source that is trusted by people all over the world - The Cleveland Clinic.Schauer, Phillip is the author of 'Bariatric Surgery A Cleveland' with ISBN 9781596240094 and ISBN 1596240091.
