About the department
The Department of Obesity Treatment and Bariatric Surgery at the Hospital Nordwest Frankfurt am Main offers the full range of services in the area of its specialization. The department's medical team can boast long experience, and also has at its disposal advanced obesity treatment methods. Upon admission to the department, the patient undergoes a comprehensive diagnostic examination, since excess weight can cause the development of many diseases, including diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular pathologies, musculoskeletal diseases, as well as psychological disorders. After receiving the diagnostic data, the attending physician invites the patient for an individual consultation, during which he agrees with him the desired final result and elaborates an individual treatment regimen. The department's specialists strive to help the patient get rid of extra pounds using conservative methods and lifestyle modifications, but in especially complex cases they still resort to surgical treatment. The department is headed by Dr. med. Sylvia Weiner.
Many patients come to the department to undergo treatment of obesity caused by a sedentary lifestyle, unhealthy diet, low physical activity, hormonal disorders, as well as after injuries and diseases, which require prolonged bed rest. Overweight people are often prone to mood disorders and depression, and therefore the department offers the services of experienced psychologists whose efforts are aimed at restoring a person's self-confidence, increasing self-esteem and improving quality of life, as well as providing moral support for the patients during the difficult fight against obesity.
When undergoing treatment in the department, the patients gain knowledge about proper nutrition and receive all the necessary information, which will help them completely change their lifestyle, as well as get rid of bad eating habits. Lifestyle modification and dietary adjustments are required even for those patients who had bariatric surgery to reduce body weight, since, in most cases, improper diet and insufficient physical activity contribute to repeated weight gain.
The department's specialists offer not only conservative, but also surgical treatment of severe cases of obesity, when diets, drug therapy and physical activity do not give the desired result. As a rule, the preference is given to gastric volume reduction and gastric bypass surgery. In particular, the surgeons shape the small stomach with staples to reduce food intake to 30 grams. The department also performs a gastric balloon implantation (an endoscopic intervention). When performing this surgical procedure, the surgeons place a balloon with saline solution in the stomach. The balloon occupies a significant part of it, thereby reducing the amount of food intake and accelerating the onset of satiety. Thus, the patient does not experience any discomfort due to hunger, eats less food and loses weight.
For patients wishing to undergo outpatient therapy, the department’s specialists have developed their own unique OPTIFAST®52 method. This program is implemented as a group therapy and allows the patient to achieve safe and long-term weight loss. The program includes the diagnostic examination of the patient's overall health and the assessment of his physical endurance. These are followed by the appointment of a special diet and an individual selection of the required physical activities. During the entire period of therapy, the patient is under the supervision of experienced physicians who make adjustments to any aspects of the program, if necessary. The patients also regularly attend a support group and work with a psychologist.

- Conservative treatment of obesity

About hospital
According to the reputable Focus magazine, the Hospital Nordwest Frankfurt am Main ranks among the top German medical facilities!
The hospital has a reputation of a modern multidisciplinary medical center with excellent quality of services. The medical complex is an academic hospital of the Goethe University Frankfurt, thanks to which it provides patients with treatment based on the very latest achievements of university medicine. The hospital has 12 specialized departments, as well as numerous narrowly focussed centers and institutes, whose doctors work hand in hand for the benefit of their patients. The hospital has 582 beds. The medical staff of the hospital annually provides diagnostics and treatment to more than 21,800 inpatients, while over 36,000 patients receive medical care on an outpatient basis.
The hospital presents such medical fields as oncology and hematology, radiation oncology, gynecology, urology, neurology, internal medicine, general and abdominal surgery, thoracic surgery, vascular surgery and others. Each of these medical fields is represented by a professional team of doctors and nursing staff. Oncology is one of the priority focuses of the hospital. In 2008, the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University Hospital Frankfurt together with the Hospital Nordwest Frankfurt am Main founded the University Cancer Center Frankfurt recognized by the German Cancer Aid as one of the best in Germany. In this high-tech center, the patients receive effective interdisciplinary medical care, since not only oncologists, chemotherapists and radiation oncologists are involved in the therapeutic process, but also specialists from related disciplines, including gynecologists, urologists, gastroenterologists, pulmonologists, surgeons and other experts. The patients are also provided with qualified psychological care, which is an integral part of the successful cancer treatment. Thanks to its status as an academic hospital, the medical facility gives patients the opportunity to participate in clinical trials at both national and international levels.
The hospital is proud of its health facilities and state-of-the-art equipment, which plays an important role in the effective diagnostics and treatment. For example, since 2016, the Department of Radiation Oncology has been using cutting-edge Truebeam STx NOVALIS linear accelerators from VARIAN and Brainlab, which allow the doctors to provide highly effective, but very sparing, radiation therapy for cancer treatment. Despite the presence of modern medical technologies in the hospital, the focus of the doctors is on the patient with his individual needs and wishes. The specialists pay attention to creating a friendly atmosphere in the hospital and always demonstrate humanity in relation to their patients.
The outstanding clinical activities of the medical complex are awarded by many prestigious certificates, including certificates of the German Cancer Society in the treatment of bowel, liver, prostate, gynecologic cancers, etc. The Aktion Saubere Hände certificate and a modern quality management system guarantee patients the highest safety standards during both diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
