Hello to everybody! I just want to start by welcoming everyone to our website. This updated site was recently launched and contains a lot of new information about weight loss surgery, the various procedures we offer, frequently asked questions, and information on our office, staff, and upcoming informational seminars. If anyone has any suggestions on how to improve it further, I’d be happy to hear them.
One of my main goals with the website is to provide continued education to our patients who have already undergone surgery. I strongly feel Bariatric surgery requires constant learning to get the most success out of each procedure. Most of the information on our website is structured for patients who have not been through the surgery and are trying to determine which procedure to pursue. So one of the main ways I want to update our post-operative patients will be through this blog. I’ll be providing frequent updates with the latest knowledge obtained about all the different surgeries, including news and journal articles as well as research papers. We’ll be providing nutritional information and diet tips to keep you on target. We’ll discuss any new surgeries or techniques that may improve your results. We’ll discuss any recent updates about vitamin supplementation, and we’ll have guest entries by Plastic Surgeons and other healthcare professionals. Weight loss surgery had been around for over 40 years, but just like everything in medicine, we are still learning fascinating things. My goal is to pass that knowledge on to you.
To participate, just log-in to the site. We’ll also update our Facebook site to let you know when there is a new blog, or you can just log-in and check back here. Let me know if there is any specific topic you want discussed. I wish everyone continues success in your new lives.
Will Johnson, MD, FACS
