Our specialists can help you find the right path forward!
Obesity is a complex, chronic disease that often requires treatment beyond lifestyle adjustments. When traditional methods like diet, exercise and behavioral modifications are not enough, our team will guide you through informed decisions about bariatric surgery. Bariatric surgery can help you lose weight and significantly improve your quality of life and overall health and well-being.
The journey to weight loss surgery is a meaningful commitment to your health. As part of the preparation process, all patients must undergo a pre-surgical psychological evaluation, to assess emotional readiness and ensure stable mood and behavioral patterns. In addition, required blood work and consultations with a medical nutrition therapist support the best possible outcomes from surgery.

Our bariatric surgeons use today’s safest and most effective weight loss surgeries.
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is a type of bariatric surgery that involves creating a small pouch from the stomach and connecting it directly to the small intestine. It is a “bypass” surgery in that it bypasses a large portion of the stomach and the beginning part of the small intestine, limiting how much you can eat. It also alters hormone production, the hormone that stimulates hunger, contributing to weight loss and improved obesity-related conditions. This surgery will leave you feeling full after eating small amounts and limits the amount of food digested, decreasing the calories your body absorbs.
Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, or gastric sleeve, is a weight-loss surgery that involves removing a significant portion of the stomach, leaving a smaller, tube shaped pouch. This procedure reduces the stomach’s capacity, leading patients to feel fuller sooner so they consume smaller portions. It also alters hormone production, the hormone that stimulates hunger, contributing to weight loss and improved obesity-related conditions.
