Bariatric Physicians focus on the surgical management of obesity. Individuals who do not see improvement with traditional weight loss methods may qualify for bariatric surgery, pending consultation and referral from their healthcare provider.

The goal of bariatric surgery is to alter the anatomy and operation of the digestive system to limit the amount of food the body can consume. There are multiple techniques and approaches available for bariatric surgeons, including minimally invasive options.

Certain medical conditions may restrict your eligibility for bariatric surgery, so it's essential to share a thorough health history when exploring options with your doctor or surgeon. The success rates of bariatric surgery can vary, so it’s crucial to have a candid discussion about your expectations with your physician prior to moving forward.
