Obesity is a disease that affects 1 out of 5 Americans.  Morbid obesity can lead to co-morbidities such as hypertension, coronary artery disease, diabetes mellitus, sleep apnea, and so much more. 

Each month we have a Lap-Band seminar in Egg Harbor Township that's open to the public at no cost.  At this seminar, Dr. Patel will review the affects of morbid obesity in America and he will also review the Inamed Lap-Band System and how gastric banding can help you regain control of your eating habits. 

You will receive all the information necessary to begin the process, and our bariatric coordinator is available on site if you have any questions.
