Bariatric surgery can help you regain control of your weight, your health and subsequently your future.
Bariatric or weight loss surgery is a term that covers all the different surgical procedures used to help extremely overweight or morbidly obese patients lose weight. It may be recommended when diet, exercise, and medications have failed or if the patient has obesity related medical problems.
Morbidly obese patients are usually identified by their Body Mass Index (BMI) measurement, although other factors may also be taken into account. Morbid obesity is associated with an increased risk of developing illnesses such as: heart attack, hypertension, stroke, diabetes, sleep disorders and joint pain. Bariatric surgery can cure or greatly improve these illnesses as well as give the patient an improved quality of life.
The aim is to reduce hunger and allow a small meal to satisfy immediately and over many hours. This sharply decrease caloric intake and provides weight loss without the hunger and lack of control that diets often produce.
Bariatric surgery is not a quick fix cure. Weight loss is enhanced with healthy eating and exercise and surgery is one step in a life-long process of weight management.
We provide a range of bariatric and metabolic surgeries to support weight loss and help patients regain control of their health.
