Weight Loss Surgery Program

Our Weight Loss Surgery Program is your place for comprehensive and reliable weight loss surgery close to home.

Weight loss surgery, also known as bariatric surgery, works by reducing the size of your stomach so that you feel full and satisfied while consuming much less food. Surgical treatment has been confirmed by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as the only proven method of significant, long-term weight loss for people with clinically severe obesity. We offer Lap Band, Gastric Bypass and Sleeve Gastrectomy options.

Nationally recognized program Our program has earned accreditation from the Bariatric Surgery Center Network of the American College of Surgeons.  Accreditation as a Level 1b facility means we are fully capable of supporting a bariatric surgery care program and are committed to the highest quality of patient care, both before and after surgery.

If you have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 40 or more, or a BMI of 35 or higher with co-morbid conditions, you may be a candidate for one of these weight loss surgeries. If you're not sure what may be right for you, our team of experts can help you sort it out and make an informed decision about what's best for your health.

You can use the table below to calculate your body mass index (BM!), a numerical value that uses your weight and height to determine your weight status. If you have a BMI of 40 or more, or a BMI of 35 to 40 with co-existing medical conditions, you may be a candidate for weight loss surgery.
