The first Online Nutrition and Psychology Clinic for Bariatric Patients opens in Romania
The Doctor Dejeu Team is expanding its services to assist all patients struggling with obesity
The Doctor Dejeu Team, a leader in bariatric medical services and the most sought-after team in Romania, serving over 2,000 patients per year, announces the launch of the first online clinic dedicated to nutrition and psychology for bariatric patients, as well as for those struggling with obesity and aiming to return to a normal weight. Support from specialists in bariatric surgery, nutrition and psychology is, starting March 1st, 2024, available to all individuals who have sought obesity treatment in Romania or abroad. Consultations will take place exclusively online, by appointment. Until now, these services were offered only to patients who underwent surgery or had a gastric balloon placed by the Doctor Dejeu Team.
According to data provided by the World Health Organization in 2022, 58% of adults in Romania are overweight or obese. The Doctor Dejeu team estimates that over 10,000 patients annually seek treatment for obesity, whether surgical or non-surgical, such as the gastric balloon. These individuals seek support to maintain long-term results and guidance by nutritionists experienced in this pathology and psychologists specialized in behavioral therapy related to eating and weight is essential.
„Post-bariatric care services are a direct response to the needs expressed by our patients and individuals who have contacted us over time. The battle with obesity does not end upon discharge from the hospital, nor when the patient has managed to lose excess weight. It lasts a lifetime. Therefore, thanks to our multidisciplinary team, each patient benefits from holistic and personalized care on their journey towards recovery and maintaining a healthy weight”, said Dr. Viorel Dejeu, chief surgeon and co-founder of the Doctor Dejeu Team.
The Doctor Dejeu Team’s services cover the entire range of treatment options, whether surgical, non-surgical (gastric balloon), or medication-based. They include consultations with surgeons, nutritionists and psychologists, as well as group therapy sessions facilitated by a psychologist. The offered packages are designed to meet both the specific needs of patients who have undergone surgery or had a gastric balloon placed in the last 12 months, as well as those who went through this process longer ago but are currently facing different side effects, weight regain or loss of motivation.
The Doctor Dejeu Team consists of top bariatric surgeons internationally accredited as Master Surgeons in bariatric surgery by the Surgical Review Corporation (USA) and specialists in nutrition and psychology. Through them, patients will benefit from a personalized care plan, so as to achieve their goals and enjoy a balanced life, with healthy and sustainable habits.
