Obesity is a chronic disease meaning that its symptoms build slowly.It can affect both your health and quality of life. Bariatric surgery is a treatment option that permanently alters the patient’s anatomy and physiology, while allowing for significant weight loss and the reversal or improvement of co-morbid conditions.

Bariatric surgery is not a cure-all and never should be regarded as such. It can, however, be the tool you need to jumpstart your weight loss transformation. Bariatric surgery is a life-changing procedure, and we want you to know the facts. Whether it’s through connecting you with a bariatric surgeon or hearing the individual experiences of patients, we want to provide you with information so you can take your next step with confidence.
