Surgical Weight Loss Options

For those who have significant weight concerns, bariatric surgery is the most effective way to lose weight and reduce the risk of obesity-related health problems, including heart disease and diabetes. Bariatric weight loss is a good option for anyone with a 35+ BMI who has been unable to lose weight through diet and exercise alone. There are many types of surgical weight loss procedures and having a general understanding of how weight loss surgery works and why one procedure is better than another for certain reasons will help you understand your surgeon’s recommendations.
