Obesity has reached epidemic proportions worldwide. Over 65% of the American population is overweight and at an increased risk of dying from weight-related diseases. As weight increases the medical complications associated with obesity increase as well as the death risk.

Everyday activities are a challenge because of the excess weight and the medical conditions that result from them: tying shoelaces, walking, climbing steps, bending down and playing on the floor with children and grandchildren, fitting in an airplane set, going on an amusement ride, fitting comfortably into a movie seat, running and playing with the dog. With weight loss surgery you can recapture your life, regain your health and correct the medical conditions that are preventing you from enjoying it.

The numbers are staggering as obesity now involves so many of us and our loved ones. Over 65% of the population in the United States is overweight. 50 million are considered obese and 12 million morbidly obese. Our lifestyles, the foods we eat, our lack of exercise and daily pressures to work hard and provide for our families have led to unhealthy living. Many individuals experience increased medical problems and a potentially increased risk of dying. There are over thirty obesity-related medical conditions that include diabetes, asthma, sleep apnea, cancer, cardiovascular and pulmonary disease, gallstones, heartburn, hypertension, infertility, arthritis, urinary incontinence, back and joint pain problems.

Bariatric surgery is recognized as a means to which the morbidly obese can regain their lives and recapture their health, resulting in the disappearance of their life-threatening illnesses.

Our experience has enabled us to understand that each patient has his or her own individual needs. Our unique and comprehensive program is designed specifically for each patient, keeping that concept in mind.

Dr. Neil Floch and his weight loss team makes the long-term care of your weight easier and guides you on a lifelong path to addressing your obesity that is safe and successful.

4worldlovers: In the summer of 1994, Dr. Craig Floch started his practice in General Surgery in Norwalk, Connecticut. Dr. Neil Floch joined him in practice in 1998. As Floch Surgical Associates, the practice grew and developed into Fairfield County Bariatrics & Surgical Specialists, P.C.

Dr. Peter lngraldi and Dr. Abraham Fridman joined the practice in later years and we have been serving the communities in which we practice with great success providing bariatric, general and acute/trauma care surgical services. Over the years, our private practice covered a territory including multiple hospitals and outpatient surgical centers, reaching many patients and families.

We write this letter to share the news that our practice will be winding down. The physicians will be working for separate practices moving forward. This is an amicable situation and we are looking forward to continuing to provide excellent care.

We have enjoyed many years of a successful private practice and have been grateful for the opportunity to provide care to you, your families and friends. We count all of you as members of our "FCB family". We look forward to continuing to provide you with a superior level of service and care.

There will be transition and change, but you will still have access to your physicians and the excellent care that has been the pillar of our private practice.
