Medical Bariatrics of American, associated with Medical Bariatrics of Lexington is now tracking over 8000 patients that have been treated in the program. Several thousand patients have been treated in Dr. Rader's previous weight loss practice with similar results. Bariatrak, the electronic medical record used by MBL, was designed by Dr. Rader in order to track the specific needs of the bariatric patient as well as to follow patient results. This program documents any changes done in the program and the result in patients’ success to help improved patient care and design the best treatment protocol for you. Results have been so successful that Dr. Rader has been invited to train other physicians around the nation how to become successful weight loss physicians and how to appropriately follow their patients' progress. We know from our database tracking system, that 97.7% of patients in this program loss significant weight (on average 9.3 lbs) in their first month. 78% of patients loss enough weight in just 3 months to reduce their long-term risk of diabetes by greater than 50%. Patients that lose weight in the program have improvements in their lipid profile (cholesterol and triglycerides) equal to or better than commonly used cholesterol medicines. Many patients are able to come off blood pressure medicines, lipid medicines and antidepressant medicines. Patients have now lost over 71,555 combined pounds in just their first month in our program, and over 210,000 pounds total. Numerous physicians and nurses are patients in the program.
The American Society of Bariatric physicians has a set of 15 criteria “principles of excellence” that all bariatricians are encouraged to follow. These include always putting patients’ welfare above all, avoiding value judgments concerning a patient's behavior, complying with all state and federal laws, providing adequate and truthful information to the patient about their disease, and cooperating fully with other physicians in providing medical care to every patient. Scientific Knowledge As a specialist in weight loss medicine, Dr. Swindler has passed written and oral examinations by the American Board of Bariatric Medicine. The office is in compliance with all ASBP and DEA guidelines and laws. National Conferences are attended by Dr. Swindler and members of her staff twice a year to maintain current knowledge on advances in obesity. Dr. Rader has passes these same exams and has been a lecturer at the national conferences since 2003. Dr. Rader and Swindler constantly research all new information on weight loss. They work with other physicians to help maintain the best patient care possible. Dr. Swindler has spoken to numerous physicians throughout Kentucky on current weight loss practices and has truly become Lexington's weight loss expert just as Dr. Rader who mainly practices in Idaho has become Idaho’s weight loss expert. They both have been published in the field of research and in patient care.
Upon a first visit to the clinic, Dr. Swindler shares how the disease of obesity has affected her and her family. She saw her grandfather die of heart disease and diabetes that could have been prevented with weight loss. She helped her father loss about 60lbs after realizing he was the oldest living male is his family as all others had died prematurely from heart disease. She also helped herself prior to entering the field of bariatrics to loss weight and to decrease her bad cholesterol from twice the normal amount (LDL of 197) to normal range (about 80). After years of training in family medicine and working in various emergency rooms treating chronic and acute obesity related diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes, sleep apnea, high cholesterol, and heart disease, she realized how most of these conditions could have been cured or prevented if obesity was appropriately treated. She also saw how much weight loss training was lacking in the medical field along with necessary patient education time forcing patients to rely on programs not supervised by physicians and using medications and herbs obtained illegally or over the internet without regard to their current medical history. Dr. Swindler has therefore made Bariatric medicine her passion, and it is her goal to uphold expertise in this field, promote and reflect a healthy lifestyle, and provide safe and effective weight loss and maintenance to all who desire to combat or prevent this disease. Her experiences have allowed her to be empathetic and understanding towards both the emotional and physical well-being of her patients.Reviews
