About the Surgery

What results do you want to achieve?
Sometimes, diet and exercise won't work—the weight just keeps coming back. Don't give up, we may be able to help. Studies have shown that weight-management surgery, compared to non-surgical treatment, yields the longest period of sustained weight loss in patients who have failed other measures. But remember, it takes motivation, patience and self-discipline to ensure successful results.

Bariatric surgery has come a long way since it was first introduced in the 1950s. Unfortunately, the first procedures rarely achieved good results, making the development and acceptance of later procedures much more difficult.

Today, great advances have been made in the field of bariatric surgery. We now offer two of the most-successful, least-invasive procedures. Both have advantages and disadvantages, but their results are far better than anything imagined only years ago. Each procedure is matched for a certain type of individual, so choose the one best-suited for how you want to live your life.
