Address Life-threatening Medical Conditions Through Bariatric Surgery.

Obesity puts a severe strain on the body and increases your risk of developing other serious medical conditions. These conditions lower quality of life and can lead to disability or early death. Many people have a combination of many of these conditions (co-morbidity), which adds to their impact. If you have a combination of several of these conditions, you may be qualified to have bariatric surgery:


  • Asthma
  • Back and Spine Disorders
  • Cancers of the Liver, Pancreas, Kidneys, Endometrium, Breast, Colon, Prostate, and Many Others
  • Fatty Liver Disease
  • Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)
  • Gout
  • Heart Disease
  • High Blood Pressure (Hypertension)
  • High Cholesterol
  • Kidney Disease
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Sleep Apnea
  • Type 2 Diabetes
  • Urinary Incontinence

Bariatric surgery is a powerful tool that has been shown to reduce or even eliminate dangerous medical conditions over time. It can help you take control of your medical conditions and live the healthier life you want. If you are tired of struggling to manage your health issues and are concerned about how they will affect your future, you owe it to yourself and those you love to explore the possibility of bariatric surgery.
