Bariatric Physicians focus on the surgical management of obesity. Individuals who do not achieve results through traditional weight loss methods may qualify for bariatric surgery, following a consultation and referral from their primary healthcare provider.

The aim of bariatric surgery is to alter both the structure and function of the digestive system in order to limit the amount of food the body can consume. There are numerous techniques and methods available to bariatric surgeons, including options for minimally invasive procedures.

Certain medical conditions may affect your eligibility for bariatric surgery, so it's essential to share a thorough health history when discussing potential options with your physician or surgeon. The success rates of bariatric surgery can vary, and it is important to align your expectations with your physician prior to moving forward.
