Am I a Candidate?
If you're struggling with severe obesity, and repeated dieting and exercise just haven't worked, a bariatric (weight loss) procedure may be the solution for you. In fact, when combined with a comprehensive treatment plan, weight loss surgery is the only effective option to combat severe obesity and maintain long-term weight loss, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Weight loss is a journey and we're here to help you every step of the way. Many of our patients experience more than just long-term weight reduction- they experience notable improvement in their health. Through methods including dietary counseling, behavior modification, exercise, support groups and bariatric surgery, we do more than help reduce weight. We change lives.

-
Between the ages of 18 and 65 (If you're younger or older, your case may be considered)
