Bariatric Procedures We Perform.

Dr.Terushkin also performs several general surgical procedures to address individual ailments, such as hernia or gallbladder surgeries.
A variety of medical problems are associated with being obese. Diabetes. Non insulin-dependent diabetes is highly associated with obesity. A weight gain of 11 to 18 pounds increases a person’s risk of developing type 2 diabetes to twice that of individuals who have not gained weight. After weight loss, up to 80% of patients find they no longer have symptoms or require diabetes medication. Obese patients who are not diabetic will significantly reduce their risk of developing diabetes with weight loss.
