Reviews
The purpose is to provide a resource for registered nurses who desire to become certified bariatric nurses. ... The intended audience is registered nurses caring for bariatric surgical patients, but the book could be used across all healthcare specialties caring for this particular patient population, even student nurses and nurse practitioners. ... Overall, this book is outstanding. (Linda K. Connelly, Doody's Book Reviews, July, 2017)
Author Information
Marc A. Neff, MD, FACS, is Medical Director of the Center for Surgical Weight Loss at Kennedy, where he has performed hundreds of bariatric surgical procedures since the program's establishment in 2007. He is a 1996 graduate of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, completed his residency in surgery at York Hospital in York, PA, followed by fellowship training in minimally invasive surgery at St. Peter's University Hospital in New Brunswick, NJ. Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, Dr. Neff has been repeatedly named a ""Top Doc"" by South Jersey Magazine. Dr. Neff's areas of interest include: weight-loss surgery (bariatric surgery), hernia, colon and complex minimally invasive (MIS) procedures. Andrew Loveitt, DO, earned a B.S. in Molecular Biology from Juniata College in Huntingdon, PA. He went on to complete medical school at University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine in Biddeford, ME. Throughoutmedical school he developed a keen interest in surgery and is currently completing his surgical residency at Rowan University in Stratford, NJ. After residency he plans to pursue a fellowship in minimally invasive and bariatric surgery. Margaret “Peg” Martin, BSN, RN, CBN, has been Kennedy’s Bariatric Program Coordinator since 2014. As a nurse for more than 30 years, Peg has worked in the field of Bariatric Surgery for 12 years, beginning as a clinical consultant for the device industry. In that role, Peg traveled throughout the world, consulting on bariatric program development. Her industry work exposed her to many Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) in the field of weight loss surgery, where she learned a great deal about both its clinical and business aspects. As a member of ASMBS (American Society of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery) and a CBN (Certified Bariatric Nurse), Peg successfully underwent bariatric surgery herself in 2003, along with six other family members: an experience that she says provides her with an greater understanding of the personal challenges – and many triumphs – experienced by surgical weight loss patients
