Bariatric surgery, also known as weight loss surgery, involves changing your digestive system to help you lose weight. We support you before, during and after surgery to ensure you have the tools and information you need for success.
We typically recommend bariatric surgery for people who have not achieved lasting results with diet and exercise alone. In addition, they have a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or higher or 35 or higher along with conditions including diabetes, heart disease or sleep apnea. Our weight loss surgeons help you understand if this approach is right for you and create a long-term plan to improve your health.
Bariatric surgery can be life-changing — and life-saving. It can improve conditions like diabetes and arthritis. It can reduce or eliminate the need for medications. It can also reduce the serious health risks of carrying significant extra weight. Our skilled bariatric surgeons offer traditional and minimally invasive surgeries to help you regain control of your health.
We take a comprehensive and supportive approach to weight loss surgery that extends well beyond the operating room. Where available, our nutrition services, behavioral health counseling and education seminars offer resources throughout the process. We strive to help you make sustainable weight and lifestyle changes.
Your bariatrics coordinator will connect you to a specialized team of mental health counselors, dietitians and other professionals. Together, they’ll support your healthier lifestyle for years to come. In some communities, we offer in-person and virtual support groups to connect with others on a similar journey.
