It’s not just an option. It’s an opportunity.
Bariatric surgery is the most effective and lasting treatment for severe obesity, yet many patients don't even know they qualify for it. You may be a candidate for bariatric surgery if:
Your body mass index (BMI) is 40+ (or 35+ with the presence of diabetes, high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, or other serious complications of obesity).
Previous attempts at weight loss have been unsuccessful.
No medical or psychological conditions exist that would interfere with weight loss success.
You are motivated and willing to commit to the lifestyle changes necessary for long-term success.
Even if you don't qualify for bariatric surgery, you may qualify for a non-surgical solution. Get in touch to learn more about our accredited comprehensive weight loss program and our advanced specialists who are here to help you on your journey.

Discover the benefits of surgical weight loss.
Obesity is linked to 40+ diseases, including high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, sleep apnea, and at least 13 types of cancer. On average, patients lose 60% of their excess weight within 6 months of surgery and 77% within 12 months of surgery. This can make a world of difference in your health.
The sooner you get started, the sooner you can experience the benefits.
