Other healthcare professionals

When you come to MOM for treatment, you’ll meet various obesity specialists. They will begin by drawing up a general overview of your medical condition before suggesting the solution that will provide you with the best risk/benefit outcome from among the available treatments (bypass, sleeve, gastric band, admission to a dietetic clinic, gastric balloon and nutritional assistance). Last but not least, they will help you during the post-operative period.

Obesity specialists at the MOM obesity treatment centre:

Endocrinologists

Dr Merheb JAWAD Dr Diba SIAU

You will meet one of the Centre’s two endocrinologists during the assessment period and again every three months for the first year following your operation.

 

Psychiatrist

Dr Patrick MALAGANNE  

You’ll meet the psychiatrist during the assessment period and you’ll be able to have a further consultation two months after the operation if you feel the need to do so. 

 

Anaesthetists

Dr Michel BARRAL Dr Jean-Yves BIGEON
Dr Philippe BURTIN Dr Patrick COURANT
Dr Constantin HALCHINI Dr Anne GRANIER
Dr Violaine SOUFIANE  Dr Christelle CHARPENTIER

All the surgery is done under general anaesthetic, as is the gastric fibroscopy done during the assessment period, so it is essential to ensure that there is no contra-indication to anaesthesia. You’ll meet the anaesthetist twice, once before the gastric fibroscopy and again two weeks before surgery if that is the way forward for you.

 

Gastroenterologists

Dr Gilles PARELON Dr Jean-Luc MONNIN
Dr Eric MONNIN Dr Thierry SALOUM
Dr Jacques LIAUTARD Dr Christian CHAPOUTOT

You’ll have a consultation with the gastroenterologist during the assessment period. He is the specialist who will do the gastric fibroscopy to check that your stomach is healthy.

 

Respiratory physicians

Dr Véronique GAUTIER Dr Corinne MAESTRE
Dr Brigitte ADAM Dr Catherine FROMENT

You’ll meet the respiratory physician during the assessment period. He will be in charge of respiratory function tests and the detection of sleep apnoea.

 

Cardiologists

Dr Joseph SCALZI Dr Ali SAMRI

You’ll have a consultation with the cardiologist during the assessment period. He will carry out an electrocardiogram (ECG) and a cardiac ultrasound.

 

Radiologist

Dr Jean FRAGA

The radiologist is responsible for the x-ray of your lungs and the abdominal ultrasound carried out during the assessment period.

 

Nurse coordinator

Rebeca CRESIENZO

The nurse coordinator plays a vital role. She acts as the link between the patient and the obesity specialists. She is the one who will contact you a few weeks after the first surgical consultation to answer your questions and organise the medical assessment. She also monitors your file right the way through to its discussion at a meeting attended by a full range of specialists, when a decision is reached on the most appropriate treatment for you.

 

Dietitians

Mme Jo DOMINGUEZ Mme Chloé BERNAUD
Mme Cindy CLEMENT Mme Sophie BARAILLE
Melle Estelle HUGUET  

You’ll meet the dietitian for the first time during the assessment period when she will help you prepare for surgery. You’ll see her again often during your stay in the clinic after the operation. To help you in the longer term, she will be available whenever you need her advice, either in a consultation or by phone.

 

Physiotherapist

M. Marc ROUCAUTE

You’ll meet the physiotherapist during your stay in the clinic. He will help you recover from the after-effects of the surgery.
