Good Samaritan Medical Center opened the MyNewSelf Surgical Weight Loss Program to the residents of West Palm Beach, offering them a chance to change their life for the better. The MyNewSelf Surgical Weight Loss Program includes bariatric surgical options, including Lap Band, Gastric Sleeve and Gastric Bypass, which have been proven to be effective in reversing chronic obesity.

 

Surgical options involve modifying the stomach and/or intestines to decrease the amount of food that is consumed, and some procedures change the normal adsorption of the food consumed. However, surgery is only part of the process of reaching a healthier weight. The MyNewSelf Surgical Weight Loss Program takes a holistic approach that provides patients with pre- and post-operative psychological counseling, personalized nutrition and fitness plans, as well as vitamin supplements.
