“Obesity is not a matter of willpower, nor is it a disease of the lazy. It is a complex medical problem that requires proper treatment.”

In the latest issue of Galenus Magazine, Dr. Viorel Dejeu, senior consultant in General Surgery, with expertise in Oncological, Advanced Laparoscopic, and Hepato-Bilio-Pancreatic Surgery, talks about his professional journey and about the challenges of bariatric surgery.
Doubly accredited internationally as a Master Surgeon in Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery, as well as in Revisional Bariatric Surgery, Dr. Viorel Dejeu is the first specialist in Europe recognized by the Surgical Review Corporation (SRC) for excellence in the field.

In the interview given to Galenus Magazine, Dr. Viorel Dejeu explains:

• how a relationship based on trust is built between surgeon and patient,
• why obesity is not a matter of willpower, but a chronic condition that must be managed medically,
• and how important the multidisciplinary approach is to the success of the treatment.

“There is nothing shameful in asking for help. Obesity is not cured, but kept under control, just like many other chronic diseases,” emphasizes Dr. Viorel Dejeu.
