🇺🇸 Strong, healthy bones depend on more than just a glass of milk! Especially after bariatric surgery.
Losing weight quickly can impact your bone density, which is a serious concern if it’s not managed carefully.

That’s why we emphasize the importance of weight-bearing exercise. These types of exercises help maintain and even improve bone strength, reducing the risk of fractures and other complications down the road.

🇪🇸 ¡Para tener huesos fuertes y sanos se necesita algo más que un vaso de leche! Sobre todo después de una cirugía bariátrica.

Perder peso rápidamente puede afectar a la densidad ósea, lo que supone un grave problema si no se controla con cuidado.

Por eso hacemos hincapié en la importancia de los ejercicios con peso. Este tipo de ejercicios ayudan a mantener e incluso a mejorar la resistencia ósea, lo que reduce el riesgo de fracturas y otras complicaciones en el futuro.

🇺🇸 A FibroScan is a quick, noninvasive test that measures the stiffness and fat content of your liver. In just a few minutes, it can help detect early signs of liver disease long before symptoms appear.

Early detection means earlier treatment, better outcomes, and a healthier future. If you know you might be at risk for liver problems or want to stay on top of your health, ask us if a FibroScan is right for you!

🇪🇸 Un FibroScan es una prueba rápida y no invasiva que mide la rigidez y el contenido de grasa del hígado. En solo unos minutos, puede ayudar a detectar los primeros signos de una enfermedad hepática mucho antes de que aparezcan los síntomas.

La detección temprana significa un tratamiento más temprano, mejores resultados y un futuro más saludable. Si sabe que puede tener riesgo de padecer problemas hepáticos o desea controlar su salud, pregúntenos si un FibroScan es adecuado para usted.
