Northern Virginia Bariatric Surgery Practice Offers New Patient Educational Videos
Northern Virginia Bariatric Surgery Practice Offers New Patient Educational Videos
Fairfax, VA (PRWEB) January 05, 2012
The team of Northern Virginia weight loss surgeons at Blue Point Surgical Group is now utilizing educational videos from EMMI Solutions to further enhance patient information during their bariatric surgery process. EMMI Solutions creates patient engagement programs that break down complicated medical information into an enhanced and easy to understand patient experience. Blue Point Surgical Group says the video seminars will help bridge the gap between surgeons and patients by translating procedure details into an easily comprehensible, user-friendly explanation.
By delivering evidence-based medical education to patients, Bluepoint Surgical Group says the videos can offer patients a more active role in their healthcare. The practice also adds that the online seminars will be mandatory for patients considering surgery at their practice, whether they’re seeking a procedure such as gastric banding or LAP-BAND® System surgery. By educating patients through a required set of videos, Bluepoint Surgical Group hopes to provide dense information in an easy and convenient way.
In conjunction with the release of the EMMI education videos, Blue Point Surgical Group has also announced that the videos will be available on mobile devices such as smartphones and iPads via their new mobile website. According to the practice, the mobile site will launch on December 31, 2011.
The weight loss surgery practice says that having the option to view them online or on-the-go through their mobile website can put patients at ease whom normally would be nervous and anxious in a doctor’s office. Bluepoint Surgical Group says this added comfort can ensure patients pay full attention to the information being provided about their procedures so they can make better decisions regarding treatment.
For patients considering weight loss surgery, Bluepoint Surgical Group says the seminars offer a distinct advantage because they can be attended online from the comfort and convenience of one’s home rather than in person. Bluepoint’s Medical Director, Dr. Denis Halmi, values the importance of educating the potential patient and loved ones: “By viewing EMMI online, patients and their families can get an introduction to the surgery. Then, when the patient sees me or one of our other surgeons for a consultation in the office, they will be more comfortable asking questions. Also, it is important for the family to know what to expect after the surgery so they can help foster an environment of success.”

I am looking for this class everywhere but I cannot find it. Any suggestions? The class is called Bariatric Surgery 101? PLEASE HELP.

Answer by neniaf
You won’t find it, either. 101 would tend to be a class for college freshmen, and you have to be in medical school to take a class having anything to do with any kind of surgery.

What Do you think of plastic Surgery for weight Loss?
Question by 3 corpse n my basement.: What Do you think of plastic Surgery for weight Loss?
I have tried Diets and weight loss programs and private trainers and i have loss weight however I have a problem area in my lower stomach. (maybe because I had 3 kids and 1 was a c-section. So do you have any other suggestions? if not my only other option is weight loss surgery what surgey would you recomend? Lipo? tummy tuck? I have heard awful stories about tummy tuck.
Best answer:
Answer by amandamation
clearly we have some spammers here…lol but if you’d like my honest opinion, would say tummy tuck. There will always be scary stories for everything, but this kind of surgery is ideal for what you’re describing. Because it’s not really “fat” that you’re trying to get rid of, right? It’s that skin that’s been stretched beyond natural repair, so lipo won’t do it, nor will weight loss surgery. And tummy tucks don’t cost an arm and a leg either!! I’d speak with a professional in each of the areas (lipo, tuck, weight loss surgery…) to see what makes sense to you.

Question by KimiBabeee: What is the easiest way to get in Protein Supplements after Bariatric Surgery.?
Since protein supps do not come in Pill form (anyone know why?) I have considerable trouble drinking the amounts of protein supplements I need to drink daily since having bariatric surgery. It all makes me sick to my stomach.
