For the treatment of obesity and metabolic syndrome, a surgical procedure called "Bariatric Surgery" or "Metabolic Surgery" draws international attention and is now available. The reason is that people who select a sustainable bariatric treatment are increasing because mortality rate of severe obesity and metabolic syndrome is extremely high.
Kamagaya General Hospital in the Tokushu-kai Group hospitals has opened Japan Bariatric Surgery & Metabolic Surgery Center in the inner city area. At the same time, for the convenient access for the patients visiting from many parts across Japan, a consulting office called "BMS Yaesu Gate" opened near Tokyo Station.
"BMS Yaesu Gate" provides consultation to the patients considering a surgical treatment and provides counseling, diet and physical exercise instruction as post-surgery follow-up. Inquiry can be made by e-mail or telephone.
