“Everything is better! My mobility, health, and getting off medication.”

Bariatric surgery is an operation that helps a person lose weight by making changes to their digestive system. For those who are severely overweight, surgery is the only solution.

A person automatically qualifies for bariatric surgery if he or she is 100 pounds or more over his or her ideal weight, or 80 pounds overweight with serious health problems − such as diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, or joint pain.

Medical studies have demonstrated that bariatric surgery can reverse diabetes, heart disease, lower blood pressure, and resolve many other major health problems.

Weight loss surgery is more than just an operation. It is a process and can take some time. It also takes a personal commitment to changing your life.
