How we help you lose weight
Our highly trained team includes a bariatric surgeon, providers and dietitians who specialize in weight loss. Our team knows that every weight-loss journey is unique. That's why they will take the time to learn about your lifestyle and your weight-loss goals. Then they'll create a weight-loss plan that's designed just for you
Your plan may include:
Bariatric surgery. Surgery helps you lose weight by changing your digestive system. This helps you feel full more quickly. It also changes how your body absorbs food. Our fellowship-trained bariatric surgeon performs all types of weight-loss procedures. These include:
● Duodenal switch / Single anastomosis duodenal-ileostomy with sleeve (SADI-S).
● Revisional surgery, to repair or change a previous weight-loss surgery.
Your body mass index (BMI) is one way to know if surgery is a good choice for you. BMI is a measure of your body weight relative to your height. Most surgical candidates have a BMI of at least 30. But our team will look at other things, too, like whether you have diabetes or other chronic health conditions.

Medical weight loss. If surgery isn't the right choice for you, our medically supervised weight-loss services may be an option. These include:
● Nutrition counseling. You'll meet with a registered dietitian to learn recipes, portion control and food preparation ideas.
● Weight-loss medications. Our team may design a program for you that includes weight-loss injections.
