As the new year brings fresh resolutions and aspirations for a healthier lifestyle, a pressing issue looms large in Maine's landscape: obesity. According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), nearly a third of adults in the state are grappling with obesity, a condition that significantly increases the risk of developing a myriad of serious health complications including high blood pressure, sleep apnea, diabetes, certain types of cancer, and heart disease. The sobering reality is that those affected by obesity face heightened risks of heart attacks and strokes, underscoring the urgent need for effective interventions. In response to this growing public health challenge, Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center has been at the forefront of providing solutions for individuals who struggle with weight loss through conventional means such as diet and exercise. For over 35 years, the medical center's Northern Light Surgical Weight Loss program has offered comprehensive support for patients, leveraging a dedicated team that includes experienced surgeons, registered dietitians, specialized nurses, physical therapists, and psychologists. This multifaceted approach not only prepares patients for surgery but also ensures continued support for their success in the long term. In a promising development for patients in Maine, the program has recently expanded its surgical options with the addition of Dr. Bergljot Karlsdottir, a board-certified general surgeon who specializes in the surgical management of obesity. Dr. Karlsdottir brings a wealth of expertise to the role, having completed her medical degree at the University of Iceland and further honing her skills at prestigious institutions such as the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics and the Mayo Clinic. Dr. Karlsdottir's commitment to her patients is evident in her approach to care. "I am passionate about improving the quality of life for my patients, who oftentimes experience significant medical illnesses and social stigma associated with obesity," she explains. Her focus on advanced minimally invasive surgical techniques aims to alleviate pain and expedite recovery, offering patients a more efficient path to wellness. For those contemplating weight loss surgery, the journey begins at the Northern Light Surgical Weight Loss program. Interested individuals can start by visiting the program's website, where they can access an informative session to help determine their eligibility for surgery. Moreover, the program offers direct support through a dedicated phone line, ensuring that potential patients can have their questions answered and receive guidance on the next steps. At Northern Light Health, the mission is clear: to enhance the healthcare experience for all Maine residents. Through an integrated health delivery system, the organization emphasizes accessibility and effectiveness in care, striving to lead the state toward a healthier future. With a commitment that spans hospitals, specialty practices, and community healthcare services, Northern Light Health remains steadfast in its dedication to serving patients and their communities.
