Obesity Procedures

There is growing acceptance that severe obesity needs to be treated like a disease and not a cosmetic problem. In 2004 Medicare agreed. While a huge national effort is required to educate the population in how to eat and exercise to prevent obesity in the first place, those who are already excessively obese need help now. When a proper medically supervised program of dieting has failed, surgery offers the only reliable, durable way to lose weight.

We perform laparoscopic gastric bypass and laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (called here the "Band"). Explore these pages further to learn about these options, how well they work and how safe they are.
