Bariatric Programs & Surgery

Bariatric programs and surgery provide life-changing solutions for patients struggling with obesity and related health conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and sleep apnea. At our general surgery practice, we offer a comprehensive approach that begins with thorough evaluations, education, and personalized treatment plans designed to meet each patient’s unique needs. Our bariatric program combines advanced surgical options—such as gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, and other minimally invasive procedures—with ongoing nutritional counseling, lifestyle guidance, and long-term follow-up care. By addressing both the physical and behavioral aspects of weight management, we help patients achieve significant and sustainable weight loss while improving their overall health and quality of life. In addition to the health benefits, bariatric surgery can boost self-confidence, increase energy levels, and open the door to a more active and fulfilling lifestyle. With a dedicated team of surgeons, dietitians, and support staff, we are committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based care every step of the way, ensuring patients have the tools and support needed for lifelong success.

SUSTAINABLE WEIGHT LOSS

Bariatric surgery helps patients achieve substantial weight reduction when diet and exercise alone have not been successful. This weight loss is typically long-term, improving overall health and quality of life.

IMPROVEMENT OF OBESITY

Many patients experience dramatic improvements in health issues such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, high cholesterol, and joint pain—sometimes reducing or eliminating the need for medications.

ENHANCED QUALITY OF LIFE

Weight loss often leads to increased energy, better mobility, improved mental health, and greater confidence, allowing patients to participate more fully in daily activities and enjoy a more active lifestyle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Am I a candidate for bariatric surgery?

Candidates for bariatric surgery typically have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 40 or higher, or a BMI of 35 or higher with serious weight-related health conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or sleep apnea. During your consultation, our team will review your health history, lifestyle, and weight-loss goals to determine if surgery is the right option for you.

What types of bariatric procedures are available, and how do they differ?

We offer several advanced surgical options, including gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, and other minimally invasive procedures. Each procedure works differently to help with weight loss—some limit the amount of food the stomach can hold, while others also affect how your body absorbs nutrients. Our surgeons will discuss the benefits and considerations of each to help you choose the best fit for your needs.

What are the potential risks and complications of bariatric surgery?

As with any surgery, there are risks, including infection, bleeding, or complications related to anesthesia. Long-term concerns may include nutritional deficiencies or digestive changes. Our experienced team uses the latest techniques to minimize risks and will guide you through every step to ensure a safe and smooth recovery.

How much weight can I expect to lose, and how quickly will I see results?

Weight loss results vary depending on the type of procedure and individual factors, but most patients can expect to lose a significant amount of weight within the first 6 to 12 months after surgery. Our team will provide a personalized plan to help you achieve the best possible outcome.

What kind of lifestyle changes will I need to make after surgery?

Successful, long-term results depend on your commitment to a healthy lifestyle. This includes following a nutrient-rich diet, eating smaller portions, taking recommended vitamins, exercising regularly, and attending follow-up visits with our team for ongoing support and monitoring.
