Treatments Offered at New You Wellness Center
New You Wellness Center stands out for its expertise in minimally invasive gastrointestinal procedures and advanced weight loss interventions. Here's a detailed breakdown of all treatments available:
Bariatric Surgery
Bariatric surgery is a cornerstone treatment at New You Wellness Center, offered for patients struggling with obesity and obesity-related health conditions. The procedures aim to support long-term weight loss, reduce comorbidities like type 2 diabetes and hypertension, and improve quality of life.
Available Techniques May Include:
- Gastric bypass
- Sleeve gastrectomy
- Adjustable gastric banding
- Revision bariatric procedures
Each surgery is tailored to individual patient needs and includes thorough nutritional and psychological counseling as part of a holistic care approach.
Diagnostic Colonoscopy
This endoscopic procedure is performed to visually examine the colon and rectum for signs of abnormalities such as polyps, inflammation, or colorectal cancer. It is a crucial screening tool for early detection and prevention of serious gastrointestinal conditions.
At New You, diagnostic colonoscopies are performed using high-resolution endoscopic systems, ensuring both accuracy and patient comfort.
Gallbladder Surgery (Cholecystectomy)
Cholecystectomy, or surgical removal of the gallbladder, is often indicated in patients suffering from gallstones, chronic gallbladder inflammation, or biliary dyskinesia.
New You Wellness Center specializes in laparoscopic cholecystectomy, a minimally invasive technique that results in smaller incisions, reduced post-operative pain, and quicker recovery times.
Gastrointestinal Cancers
Patients seeking care for gastrointestinal cancers—including stomach, colon, and esophageal cancers—can access advanced diagnostic tools and surgical expertise at New You. Treatment plans are designed collaboratively with oncologists and gastroenterologists to offer a multi-disciplinary approach.
Services may include:
- Endoscopic diagnosis
- Surgical tumor removal
- Staging and surveillance
- Post-operative nutritional and emotional support
Gastroscopy
Gastroscopy, or upper endoscopy, is used to examine the lining of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. It is vital for diagnosing ulcers, gastritis, tumors, and causes of upper GI bleeding.
New You's affiliation with WEO and ASGE ensures that patients benefit from global standards in procedural safety, sedation, and imaging accuracy.
Hernia Repair
Hernias, whether inguinal, umbilical, or incisional, are treated using both open and laparoscopic techniques. The medical team at New You uses advanced mesh technology and minimally invasive methods to reinforce abdominal walls with minimal downtime.
Patients benefit from:
- Reduced post-op discomfort
- Faster return to normal activities
- Expert surgical follow-up
Intragastric Balloon
This non-surgical weight loss procedure involves placing a saline-filled balloon inside the stomach to create a sense of fullness, thereby aiding in portion control and calorie reduction.
Ideal for patients with a BMI between 30–40 who are not ready or eligible for surgery, the intragastric balloon program at New You includes:
- Pre-procedure evaluation
- Balloon placement under mild sedation
- Continuous nutritional guidance
- Balloon removal after 6–12 months
Thyroid Surgery (Benign and Malignant)
For patients with thyroid nodules, goiters, or cancer, New You Wellness Center offers precision thyroid surgery. The surgical team performs both partial (lobectomy) and total thyroidectomies based on individual pathology.
