Personalizing Bariatric Care with seca Body Composition Solutions
At Novant Health in Charlotte, NC, Dr. David Voellinger and his team are using seca body composition solutions to elevate the way they evaluate and manage patients before and after bariatric surgery. From initial consults through long-term follow-up, body composition analysis plays a critical role in designing personalized treatment plans that support meaningful outcomes.
Before surgery, the data provides a detailed look at the extent of disease—especially visceral fat levels—which helps assess surgical complexity and patient risk. After surgery, the same insights are used to monitor progress, ensure muscle mass is preserved, and guide nutrition and exercise adjustments based on each patient's needs.
Dr. Voellinger values the precision and granularity seca provides, especially the ability to view muscle mass by limb and differentiate between healthy muscle-related water weight and potentially harmful fluid retention. This level of detail allows for more accurate dietary recommendations, targeted workouts, and deeper understanding of patient physiology.
With seca’s validated body composition technology, the team no longer relies on estimates. Every patient receives a body composition analysis at their initial visit, giving the clinical team an objective baseline to personalize care, monitor trends, and optimize health outcomes over time.
