Dr. Louis Balsama

Dr. Louis Balsama Dr. Louis Balsama DO is a general surgeon who specializes in weight loss surgery. He doesn’t just encourage a healthy lifestyle. He embodies it.

Backed by his team of bariatric professionals, he provides patients with the opportunity to regain control of their health in a supportive and caring environment. For Dr. Balsama, a leading bariatric surgeon in South Jersey, surgery is just the beginning. He understands that real lifestyle changes are ongoing and works hard to provide the support his patients need in and out of the operating room.

As a fitness lover, Dr. Balsama has qualified for and participated in the Boston Marathon, the Chicago Marathon, and the Broad Street Run. When he isn’t working to better himself, he’s working to better his practice, serving as Acting Chairman for the Department of Surgery and as General Surgery Residency Program Director at Rowan-SOM. His dedication to his practice led him to be the first surgeon at Kennedy Hospital to complete an SILS Lap Band procedure. In recognition of all his outstanding work, Dr. Balsama has been voted a “Top Doc” by SJ Magazine 6 years in a row.

From Chris, your old nurse,

I am happy to announce my book. It is a book of poetry expressing love of God, love of children, sadness, happiness, turmoil, humor, nature, grief and death.

My bariatric book will be published in a few days. I will announce it. I delayed publishing it to be as comprehensive and correct as possible.

Miss everyone ❤️

From Chris Arroliga, RN (previous Certified Bariatric Nurse, Certified Diabetes Educator, Stress Management Consultant)

Happy 4th 🇺🇸! As many of you already know, I am no longer working. I am saddened BUT, I am writing a book about Weight Management and Bariatric Surgery. It MIGHT be called, The Handbook of Weight Management and Bariatric Surgery, The Inside Story.

I would like to include a chapter on patient experiences, surgical or medical weight management good or bad.

The whole purpose of my book is to educate since I can no longer do that in person. If you’d like to contribute your story, no matter who your surgeon or physician was, please email me at ChrisBariatrics@gmail.com for further information.

Thank you!

Knowledge is power!
