Bariatrics & Adult Nutrition The Bariatric and Nutrition Clinic’s weight loss program at Albany Med is certified by the American College of Surgeons’ Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program. We provide comprehensive care through a multi-specialty team that includes dietitians, nutrition physicians and surgeons. The program takes a comprehensive approach to the patient, which includes an extensive review of medical, nutritional and psychological history. This information is tailored to the patient’s individual needs and weight loss treatments. These treatments can include diet, exercise prescriptions, weight loss medications and weight loss surgery in adults. Unlike many surgical weight loss programs, which often defer follow up care to a primary care provider, our program follows patients long-term to assess and treat nutritional, medical or surgical complications from weight loss surgery.
Pediatric Obesity The clinic also serves the needs of obese children ages 2-18 years old. We have a board-certified pediatrician that specializes in clinical nutrition and dieticians who are part of the care team. Our approach to childhood obesity also includes a comprehensive evaluation of the child-patient’s nutritional, medical and psychological needs as they relate to weight-loss and health.
Bariatric Surgery Albany Med's Bariatric Surgery Center has earned the American College of Surgeons accreditation, signifying that it meets the highest performance standards. For patients, this means a full range of surgical options performed by experts is complemented by a comprehensive program designed to produce lasting life changes. Albany Med has helped thousands of obese patients permanently lose weight and live healthier lives. Patients can lose 70 percent of excess weight and eliminate associated diseases, like diabetes and high blood pressure. Specific surgeries include Roux en Y Gastric Bypass, sleeve gastrectomy and laparoscopic gastric banding.
When you are ready to make the commitment to a healthier lifestyle, Albany Med is ready and best able to help. There are no quick fixes. Long term benefits from bariatric surgery result from education, changes in eating habits, exercise and ongoing support, which is why Albany Med insists on a comprehensive approach for our patients.
