Your Health and Future

Bariatric surgery is one step in the direction of your long-term health and wellness. Your care team is here to support you throughout the process.

There is more to obesity than diet and exercise.

Stress, sleep, hormones, chronic pain, underlying medical conditions, medications, and genetics can also play an important role.

Obesity also increases the risk of other health problems such as diabetes and fertility issues. Our multidisciplinary team of surgeons, advanced practice providers, psychologists, nurses, dietitians, and physical therapists are available to help support you in achieving and maintaining your weight loss goals.

We’re here to help you rebuild your relationship with your body and with food. This journey is about more than how you look- patients who live a more active lifestyle are less likely to experience sleep apnea, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, and back pain.
