The Institute for Weight Loss at Hackensack Meridian Health Raritan Bay Medical Center-Old Bridge was recently re-accredited as a Comprehensive Bariatric Center under the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP).
The institute provides individualized medical and surgical solutions and ongoing support for individuals seeking weight loss, including nutrition and lifestyle counseling. Typically, patients who benefit from services have previously been unable to lose weight through conventional weight loss diets, exercise, or medications and have obesity-associated medical problems such as diabetes, heart disease, or sleep apnea.
“This important accreditation confirms what has always been the ultimate goal of the institute,” said Medical Director of the Institute for Weight Loss Ayotunde Adeyeri, M.D., FASMBS, a board-certified and fellowship-trained laparoscopic, bariatric and general surgeon. “It affirms that we are providing our patients with the necessary and ongoing comprehensive care and support services required to help them achieve their weight loss goals, maintain their health and well-being, and keep the weight off.”
