Weight loss surgery produces an average loss of 45-70 percent of excess weight. It is currently the safest and most effective long-term intervention for the treatment of severe obesity. Persons suffering from obesity and who have an unsuccessful history of maintaining a healthy weight, should have a discussion with their health care provider to discuss the benefits of bariatric surgery.

WHY ARE OUR PATIENTS SO SUCCESSFUL?

We offer and encourage continuous follow-up and social support, as well as lifestyle modifications. We are committed to you beyond your surgery and to your success of becoming a healthier YOU!
