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.
Morbid Obesity:
- Someone 100 pounds above their ideal weight
- BMI of 40 or above
- BMI of 35 or above with at least three comorbidities
- Bariatric surgery can provide a life changing option

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.
If you decide that bariatric surgery is the right option for you, we have a
comprehensive team in place to help you achieve your goals. The surgical team is
led by Robert G. Cooper, MD, FACS. A surgeon with 25 years’ experience, Dr.
Cooper has developed advanced skills in laparoscopic surgery and is a member of
the American Society of Bariatric Surgery.
