For the past year, the doctors have also been performing single-incision laparoscopic bariatric surgery. This approach features one incision in the abdominal wall rather than multiple incisions to accomplish the intended procedure and is more cosmetic with less scarring.

 

The practice is recognized as a Center of Excellence by the American College of Surgeons and the Surgical Review Corporation for the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery. Both doctors are also directors of Bariatric care at Saint Clare’s Hospital in Dover. In addition, Dr. Abkin is medical director of bariatric care at JFK Medical Center in Edison, and Dr. Bertha is medical director of bariatric care at Saint Peter’s University Hospital in New Brunswick.

Addictive personality and maladaptive eating behaviors in adults seeking bariatric surgery.

/in , /by

This study examined the relationship between addictive personality and maladaptive eating behaviors in bariatric surgery candidates. Ninety-seven bariatric surgery candidates completed the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ-R) Addiction Scale, the Overeating Questionnaire (OQ), binge-eating questions from the Questionnaire of Eating and Weight Patterns (QEWP-R), and the Eating Attitudes and Behaviors Questionnaire. Participants with Binge Eating Disorder (BED) displayed addictive personality scores comparable to individuals addicted to substances (M=17.5, SD=5.3). Addictive personality was associated with Overeating (r=.45, p<.001), Cravings (r=.31, p=.005), Affective Disturbances (r=.62, p<.001) and Social Isolation (r=.53, p<.001). Addictive personality was associated with m…

Alterations in the Common Pathway of Coagulation During Weight Loss Induced by Gastric Bypass in Severely Obese Patients.

/in , /by

The objective of this study was to establish the relationship between the plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), antithrombin-III (ATIII), fibrinogen, and white blood cell (WBC) levels in severely obese patients. We analyzed various plasma parameters implicated in the intrinsic and extrinsic coagulation pathway from 34 severely obese patients before and 1, 6, and 12 months after gastric bypass. In obese people, ATIII, fibrinogen, and WBC levels were in the upper limit of the normal range, and all were higher and significantly different from nonobese people. After bariatric surgery, the ATIII level continued to be high during the first month and increased until 12 months, while fibrinogen decreased only at that time. PAI-1 plasma protein and PAI-1 mRNA levels in liver and adipose tissue…
