Area of Expertise: Bariatric Surgery

Bariatric surgery, also known as weight loss surgery, includes a range of procedures that help individuals achieve significant, long-term weight loss by making changes to the digestive system. These procedures can limit how much food the stomach can hold and, in some cases, reduce how the body absorbs nutrients. Bariatric surgery is often recommended for patients with obesity who have not found success with diet, exercise, or medication alone. In addition to supporting weight loss, it can improve or resolve conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea.
