About MD A. Kuthe
Dr. Andreas Kuthe and his wife laid the foundation stone for the Bariatric Surgery Competence Center at Clemi 20 years ago.
“The general opinion at the time was that obesity could not be operated on,” recalls Dr. Kuthe “It was an enormous piece of work to get other doctors, the institutions involved such as health insurance companies and the medical service on board and to convince them that an obesity operation can be the important and valuable prelude to a better and healthier life for the people affected ."
Since 2009, we have been a Competence Center for Obesity Surgery, certified by the CADIP (Surgical Association for Obesity Surgery) of the DGAV (German Society of General and Visceral Surgery).
Obesity Surgery at Clementinenhaus is part of the Department of General and Visceral Surgery.
Have you tried many times with the help of diets, sports, medications and many other options? Were you successful for a short time, but then gain weight again? Are you determined to break the vicious circle to regain your health? Then you are in good hands at the DRK-Hospital Clementinenhaus through our team of experts.
Obesity surgery is an effective treatment for severe and morbid obesity. However, when deciding, you must consider all sorts of considerations. That is why we inform you here in detail about the various procedures in obesity surgery. In addition, you should definitely seek the personal conversation with our experts.
Depending on what kind of intervention you make: The operation is only partially the key to success! Everything else depends on you - on your motivation and willingness to make a lasting change in your life.
