Weight loss surgery as a treatment for morbid obesity best serves patients 100 pounds or more overweight, or whose body mass index (BMI) is 40 or above. Or for those with associated health problems, bariatric surgery may also help patients with a BMI of 35-39. (learn more)

Dr. Robert Richard
I remember being really impressed by bariatric patients as a Resident. They were different than any other patients I'd seen. Seeing the follow-up stories, that's what led me into bariatric surgery. I like doing this surgery more than anything else I do." (read more)

Dr. Charley Procter
“Bariatric surgery is a much more rewarding aspect of surgery than I’ve been involved with before. I get to be a part of a major change in these people’s lives and their families’ lives. There’s nothing like it.” (read more)

Which Is the Best Weight Loss Surgery?

lap-band • realize band • gastric bypass • gastric sleeve
You have three types of surgical solutions to choose from on your first step to long-term weight loss. Should you qualify for bariatric surgery at Obesity Solutions, we offer: roux-en-y gastric bypass, gastric sleeve, and gastric banding. All three reduce the size of your stomach so you feel fuller much faster, making small portions satisfying. Gastric bypass, the most successful at weight loss, also bypasses part of the intestine which makes eating most high-calorie foods almost intolerable and decreases the absorption of calories from food.
