CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Novant Health Bariatric Solutions, which opened a brand new state-of-the-art 10,000-square-foot facility at 325 Hawthorne Lane in March, has just opened a new location in Ballantyne. This clinic is located at 14215 Ballantyne Corporate Place, Suite 240 and is open Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Novant Health Bariatric Solutions offers a variety of medical and surgical weight loss services that are individually tailored to all patients, no matter where they are on their journey to wellness. The clinic brings together renowned physicians, bariatric surgeons, registered dietitians, behavioral health counselors, athletic trainers and other weight loss professionals to offer comprehensive, remarkable bariatric care.
“Our patients work very hard to lose weight,” said Dr. Ellen Carraro, bariatric surgeon. “But when you become obese, your body wants to hold onto that weight and it counters your efforts and ability to shed the extra pounds. Then other health problems start to emerge: diabetes, hypertension and high cholesterol. Our goal is to completely transform patients’ lives, and that means tackling more than the weight.”
At the clinic, patients are assessed using state-of-the-art technology including body composition and metabolic testing. Weight loss experts use that information to create a customized, comprehensive plan to provide the support needed to achieve a patient’s weight loss goals. The team at Bariatric Solutions uses a combination of evidence-based medical therapy; cutting-edge, minimally invasive (incisionless surgical) therapy; lifestyle and diet changes; and more. The staff also provides lifelong education and support to help patients maintain weight loss.
“People tell us every day, ‘You’ve given me a new lease on my life,’” said Carraro. “The brightness of my patients’ faces is amazing when they feel that this struggle is being lifted and they’re finally experiencing success. It’s incredibly rewarding for all of us.”
