 The successful treatment of obesity is extremely important. Non-surgical treatments such as dieting, exercise and medications almost always fail to achieve long-term weight control in severely obese individuals. Bariatric surgery has a proven track record of excellent weight loss accompanied by reversal of numerous weight-related medical problems and a dramatic increase in quality of life. The best surgical procedures available are the Gastric Bypass, the Lap-Band and the Duodenal Switch. Surgeons with formal training and expertise in bariatric surgery, combined with the support of a comprehensive weight control program, will achieve the best results.

 We strongly believe that nearly all patients who undergo bariatric surgery should have a laparoscopic procedure. Open surgery should only rarely be performed. We perform more than 99% of all our bariatric procedures laparoscopically regardless of weight and previous surgical history. Our surgeons have a tremendous experience in advanced laparoscopic techniques as well as bariatric surgery. Do not have your surgery performed by surgeons who have arbitrary weight limits and rules.
