Can bariatric surgery improve your quality of life?

It’s a question you’ll need to consider carefully. Bariatric surgery has helped thousands of people lose significant amounts of weight. Laparoscopic gastric bypass and Band procedures of the type we offer have been proven to help patients lose up to 70% of excess weight as early as 12 months after surgery.

Weight loss surgery offers a solution and a new beginning for individuals suffering from morbid obesity. The decision to undergo surgery to control obesity should be considered very carefully.

The wide-ranging benefits can be striking. Patients can expect that serious medical conditions such as diabetes, hypertension and high cholesterol levels may dramatically improve or be eliminated. Patients also gain a feeling of empowerment and well-being by taking control of their health. Yet surgery should only be chosen after other weight loss options are exhausted. The Schneck Surgical Weight Loss Center holds a series of free seminars to address the benefits and risks of weight loss surgery.
