Bariatric surgery, also known as weight loss surgery, involves changing your digestive system to help you lose weight. It’s typically recommended for people who haven’t achieved lasting results with diet and exercise alone and have a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or above, or 35 or above with other conditions, such as diabetes, heart disease or sleep apnea.
Bariatric surgery can be life changing when weight loss improves conditions like diabetes and arthritis and reduces or eliminates the need for medications. Our skilled bariatric surgeons are qualified to perform traditional and minimally invasive surgeries to help you regain control of your health.
Our bariatrics approach is comprehensive and supportive, extending well beyond the operating room. In some communities, we offer in-person and virtual support groups to connect with others on a similar journey. Where available, our education seminars, nutrition services and behavioral health counseling offer additional resources to help you make sustainable lifestyle changes.
Your bariatrics coordinator will connect you to a specialized team of counselors, dietitians, and more. Together, they’ll support your healthier lifestyle — for years to come.
We perform robotic and laparoscopic surgery using much smaller incisions than traditional weight loss surgery. This approach often helps speed your recovery and reduce scarring.
