Inamed Lap-Band® and Sleeve Gastrectomy.
Dr. Zapata has excellent credentials but
equally important, his life has been
affected by morbid obesity. After losing
his father to an early death and
witnessing first hand how obesity maims
family members cell by cell, he vowed to
dedicate his life to helping people
overcome obesity through weight loss
surgery. Dr. Zapata understands first
hand the pain of living in a body that
doesn’t respond to traditional methods
of diet and exercise, while also
internalizing that we each need to make
solid choices regarding exercise, diet
and balance in our lives. Dr. Zapata not
only speaks about obesity from first
hand experience, he leads by example -
running daily and eating a healthful
diet etc. Dr. Zapata is eminently
qualified to help you select the
surgical procedure that is correct for
you (Inamed lap band, RNY-gastric
bypass or sleeve gastrectomy) and to
provide the counseling and aftercare
necessary to regain your health.
