This week on Clear Lake Connections Podcast presented by UTMB Health: Meet Dr. Sarah Samreen, Director of
Metabolic and Bariatric Center of Excellence at UTMB along with one of her patients Don Sweeney.
In this week’s episode Dr. Samreen tells the listeners all
about bariatric surgery as a potential treatment for obesity. Dr. Samreen discusses the plan for success her and her team put together for every patient. Their philosophy is to help the patient properly prep their body and mind for the procedure. She explains how they support the patient during and after the procedure to ensure the best outcome. Dr. Samreen lists the many benefits to living at a healthy weight, she emphasized, “not the scale number but how the patient feels”. Don Sweeney, one of her patients who recently hit his one-year anniversary from his surgery, adds his personal experience with Dr. Samreen’s team and his incredible journey. Don shares that he is off all pre-surgery medications and how his fitness levels have tripled.
