About Bariatric Surgery

“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.
