Bariatric Surgery

Obesity is a chronic disease that has risen to near epidemic proportions in the United States and other industrialized nations around the world.  Diet and exercise alone have not been effective in providing a reliable long term solution for the majority of obese Americans and the increasing incidence of obesity related illness makes surgical treatment a life saving option for many obese people.

Despite the tremendous benefits that Bariatric surgery offers to obese individuals, the decision to have surgery is not a simple one.  Bariatric surgery is not a cure for obesity.  It is a tool that, when used with lifestyle and dietary change, is the most effective long term treatment for the severely overweight individual.
