Bariatric Care: Know What Services Are Available To You

If you’ve recently undergone bariatric surgery or require weight loss support, a follow-up care plan is your best bet to losing weight and keeping it off for good. Embassy Healthcare has bariatric care capabilities at several of our locations across the state to support you during your weight loss journey.

You don’t have to go it alone, and you need an experienced team to guide you through any obstacles that come your way. That’s where Embassy comes in.

Nutrition

Nutrition is essential to a successful weight loss program, especially if you’re recovering from bariatric surgery. Our dedicated professionals take a personalized approach to each patient, so you get the nutrients your body needs.
Post-surgical nutrition often requires a specific meal plan to accommodate your weight loss. Planning may include vitamin supplements and altered diets, but you’ll never have to worry about staying on track with the help of our attentive team.

Fitness

Like any good bariatric care program, Embassy is committed to safe and steady therapy to help you build your endurance. We offer care schedules on a short- or long-term basis.

Your safety is paramount, no matter your fitness level. If you’re recently recovering from bariatric surgery, it’s important to start slowly with simple exercises like walking or swimming.

Co-Occurring Conditions

Quality bariatric health programs involve proactive care to prevent or minimize co-occurring conditions that accompany obesity.

Some of these health issues include:

• Heart disease
• Sleep disorders
• Depression
• Skin infections

As skin grows, the natural ridges become folds where bacteria can get trapped and cause skin infections. We want to get you up and moving to reduce the risk of skin sores and infections and keep your weight loss goals on track. Embassy offers lifts, beds, and wheelchairs that will provide accommodation, so you won’t have to worry about discomfort.

With the help of bariatric care, you’ll significantly reduce your risk of injury or co-occurring health conditions.

Embassy Healthcare accommodates bariatric patients of varying weights. To learn more about our locations or schedule a tour, call us at 888-975-1379 or contact us online.
