Struggling to Lose Weight?
Bariatric surgery involves making changes to your digestive system to help you lose weight. Some types of this surgery make the stomach smaller, while other types change the connection between your stomach and intestines.
Benefits of bariatric surgery extend beyond weight loss, improving health conditions like sleep apnea, heart disease and joint pain.
Who Qualifies for Bariatric Surgery?
Types of Bariatric Surgery Performed
Bariatric surgery is the most effective solution for significant and healthy weight loss. At our bariatric weight loss center, our surgeons offer minimally invasive procedures like gastric sleeve and gastric bypass, helping patients lose up to 69% of excess body weight at five years, compared to just 10% for patients on drug therapy.
Most people who undergo bariatric surgery experience rapid, healthy weight loss within the first 18 to 24 months.
