The Surgery

Surgery for morbid obesity (bariatric surgery) has helped many people lose more weight than is possible by diet and maintain that weight loss. It can dramatically improve quality of life and improve medical conditions associated with obesity.

Bariatric surgery may help you if

  • your weight is significantly greater than you would like
  • you find it difficult to lose weight by diet and exercise
  • you are concerned about the health consequences of your weight
  • your weight affects your quality of life

Surgery for extreme obesity has helped many people lose more weight than is possible by diet, and maintain that weight loss.
