Why Bariatric Surgery Works

Many of us have experienced the ups and downs of diet and exercise-only weight loss plans. Sadly, only 5 to 10% of people experience long-term weight loss benefits. On the other hand, upwards of 90% of our patients experience long-term weight loss and maintenance after having bariatric surgery. While we are proud of our results, we are even more proud of the thousands of patients who have lost hundreds of thousands of pounds and consider us a part of their extended family. We understand that losing weight and maintaining your goal weight is a lifelong effort, and we look forward to being there with you along the way.
