Getting Started with Weight Loss Surgery
Are You a Candidate for Surgical Treatment?
The National Institutes of Health set minimum requirements for recommending bariatric surgery as a treatment option. Check the BMI Calculator and qualifications.
How Weight Loss Surgery Works
Bariatric surgical procedures cause weight loss by restricting the amount of food the stomach can hold, causing malabsorption of nutrients, or by a combination of both gastric restriction and malabsorption. Bariatric procedures can also cause hormonal changes that affect appetite and blood sugar. Most weight loss surgeries are performed using minimally invasive techniques (laparoscopic surgery).
Each surgery provides you with an effective tool to help you lose weight and increase your quality of health. Bariatric surgery has been shown to help improve or resolve many obesity-related conditions, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and more. Our team will guide you in choosing a procedure that is best for you.
