Nutritionist Joins Bariatric Surgeon Dr Miguel Zapata's team at CIMA Monterrey

(I-Newswire) July 24, 2009 - Dr Miguel Zapata bariatric surgeon at CIMA Monterrey in Mexico today announced addition of a nutritionist to his team already consisting of professional clinical coordinators, psychologists, and assistants.
Dr Zapata is a very well known bariatric surgeon and has been performing all forms of bariatric surgeries for the last 10 years involving several techniques. His team of clinical coordinators, psychologists, assistants and now nutritionist enables him to develop personalized treatment plans for each patient.
Dr. Zapata said, "Obesity surgery is not really digestive surgery, but it is the surgery of nutritional behavior. A nutritionist in our office was required to improve patient care and facilitate communication regarding both pre and post operative issues. Maria our new nutritionist has previously worked in the US. Most of our clients are from the US, so she was a logical choice. We hope that she will carry the same stringent standards here at Monterrey too."
Alma Orozco, Patient Coordinator for Dr Zapata and Ready4aChange said,"Patients need guidance regarding protein requirements and nutritional supplements which are required immediately following surgery. A nutritionist also works closely with the surgeon to develop menus that are nutritionally appropriate for bariatric patients. Moreover, it is important to understand how your diet needs to change both before and after bariatric surgery. Our nutritionist at CIMA Monterrey will meet with you to help you understand these important changes"
She further added, "Medically before surgery, weight loss helps to shrink the size of the liver and makes the operation safer! After surgery, maintaining a high-protein but low fat diet optimizes your weight loss and postoperative nutrition. We all have plenty of questions about nutrition. So a certified nutritionist will be available to answer our questions that come up during the evaluation process."
Ready4AChange is a United States based organization dedicated to bringing weight loss surgeries within easy reach of all those suffering from obesity. They are one of the oldest and most reliable company of this kind on the internet and have helped more than 20,000 Americans find freedom from obesity. After much careful research and investigation their team determined that Monterrey, Mexico and Dr. Miguel Zapata provide services equal to, or superior to, those provided elsewhere and at much more affordable prices. They are members of the Better Business Bureau and Patient Coordinator's Center of Excellence. Ready4AChange lobbies actively to keep weight loss surgeries in Monterrey affordable and safe. It believes that these life saving opportunities must be made available to the average person and not just the chosen few who have insurance or bushels of money
