Bariatric Surgery
If your weight is keeping you from leading the healthy and active life you envision, we can help. Bariatric surgeons at DeTar Medical Group and clinical staff provide the information, education and support you need - before, during and after bariatric surgery.
Bariatric surgery procedures curb hunger as well as restrict intake and calorie absorption for maximum weight loss. Even better, every procedure can be performed through tiny incisions, reducing pain and speeding up recovery.
The life-changing decision to undergo bariatric surgery can help instill a renewed sense of self-confidence, freedom and quality of life in morbidly obese patients. Procedures are usually performed on people who have a body mass index (BMI) of at least 35 and who also have other health issues, such as type 2 diabetes and/or heart disease.
Making this type of commitment to weight loss is a difficult and courageous thing to do, yet it is only a tool used to complement dietary and exercise changes, which are essential to ensuring long-term success. A team of dietitians will meet with you to provide tips for pre- and post-surgical eating plans and DeTar Health & Fitness Center's exercise professionals can help you develop a fitness program suited for your individual needs.
Experienced in weight loss surgery procedures, the team can help you gain the confidence and control you need to discover a whole new you.
