In celebration of the new West Islip office, a grand opening event was held on August
13th, 2020. The event drew in former NYBG patients who wanted to show off their
weight loss progress and introduce their family to the practice. In addition, prospective
patients toured the facility and gained valuable feedback from NYBG surgeons and
staff.
The Islip Town Board supervisor, Angie Carpenter, issued a certificate of recognition to
welcome the practice to the Islip business community. NYBG bariatric surgeon, Dr.
Edward Cussatti, says this location was “absolutely necessary to introduce the office as
a resource for physicians in West Islip and the surrounding South Shore community”.
NYBG combats obesity with surgical and non-surgical weight loss options. The bariatric
surgical procedures aim to help patients lose weight and maintain the weight loss
permanently by altering the digestive system with rerouting, resizing, or restricting the
passage of food and its absorption. At New York Bariatric Group, they have developed
a rapid, one day workup that allows patients to complete all required clearances in one
day. This compressed workup allows patients to have their weight loss surgery as soon
as 4 weeks from the initial consultation.
