Is Bariatric Surgery Right for You?

Bariatric surgery, also known as weight-loss surgery, has a successful track record in helping people lose weight, overcome weight-related health problems and live life to the fullest.

Our approach is about more than just weight-loss procedures — as part of this treatment plan, you’ll also create new, healthy eating patterns with the help of our dietitians and learn to safely increase your activity level. These three factors — surgery, eating habits and exercise — help support lifelong success.

Attend an informational seminar

If you’re considering weight-loss surgery and would like to learn more before scheduling an an initial consultation, we invite you to attend an informational seminar. You do not need to receive a referral from your health care provider in order to attend a weight loss surgery informational session.

To keep patients safe, doctors and insurers have set guidelines for weight-loss surgery. You may be eligible for surgery if you meet these criteria:

• You have a body mass index (BMI) greater than 35, or a BMI greater than 30 with one or more weight-related health problem, such as Type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure.
• You are unable to achieve and maintain significant weight loss through traditional methods such as diet and exercise.
• You’re ready to commit to a healthy, active lifestyle.
• You don’t have medical conditions that could cause serious complications during or after surgery.
• You understand the surgery benefits, risks and complications, and you know what to expect from the process.
