When chronic wounds refuse to heal, we don’t just treat them—we transform care. In his latest Tucson Weekly feature, Dr. Jeff Monash introduces a breakthrough at the Wound Center of Tucson: amniotic grafting—a non-invasive, painless alternative to traditional skin grafting that’s helping patients heal faster, with less discomfort and fewer complications.

Derived from the amnion (the inner layer of the placenta), these grafts are rich in:

✨ Anti‑inflammatory agents to ease pain and swelling
🛡️ Antibacterial properties to protect against infection
🌱 Natural growth factors to encourage healthy tissue repair
🧬 Anti‑scarring elements for smoother healing

No surgery. No cuts. No anesthesia. Just regenerative medicine done gently—in our Tucson clinic.

See how this cutting-edge treatment is offering a new lease on mobility and comfort for patients previously stuck in a cycle of persistent wounds. Read the full story: https://www.tucsonweekly.com/tucson/a-revolutionary-advance-in-wound-healing-amniotic-grafting/Content?oid=36924018

🎁 Healthy Holidays Start with Smart Choices
From navigating buffets to lightening up favorite dishes, a little planning goes a long way.

Dr. Monash’s tips:
1. Don’t skip meals — snack wisely before events
2. Prioritize protein, veggies, and portion control
3. Make holiday recipes bariatric-friendly
4. Remember: never drink your calories!
5. Move daily (and double up if you can!)

From all of us at Tucson Bariatric — happy, healthy holidays!

Dining out doesn’t have to derail your progress — smart choices can keep you on track. Here’s how to enjoy your meal without sacrificing your goals:

1. Ask your server to skip the bread or chip basket.

2. Look for “heart-healthy” or “light” options on the menu.

3. Prioritize lean proteins — always.

4. Choose grilled, baked, or broiled meats and fish. Avoid anything sautéed or fried.

5. Ask for sauces, dressings, and gravies on the side — you control the portions.

6. Pick smart sides: steamed veggies, broth-based soups, or simple salads. Skip the fries and creamy dishes.

7. Check the restaurant’s menu online ahead of time and plan your meal before you arrive.

💡 With a few mindful tweaks, dining out can stay part of your lifestyle.

For good heart health, the American Heart Association recommends taking at least 10,000 steps a day.
But especially in wound care, movement supports more than just your heart—it helps circulation, blood sugar, and healing.
Here are 3 ways to keep track of your daily steps:
• Check your phone’s health app (Apple Health, Google Fit)
• Use a smartwatch or fitness tracker
• Sync to a wellness platform like Samsung Health or MyFitnessPal

The number isn’t the goal—healing is. Every step is part of that process.

Veggie Swaps = Big Wins

Ditch the carbs without ditching flavor. My favorite swaps:
Wraps → Romaine, cabbage, or collard greens
Rice → Riced cauliflower or parsnips
Pasta → Zucchini noodles or spaghetti squash
Chips → Sweet mini peppers
Pizza crust → Cauliflower, meat-za, or veggie boats (bell peppers, zucchini, eggplant)

These simple swaps can help you stay full, energized, and on track—especially after bariatric surgery.
