Does bariatric surgery work?
Most patients at our practice have heard that these operations work. However, because they have failed numerous diet attempts they are concerned that bariatric surgery will fail as well. The basis of all bariatric operations is to put a mechanism into place that is a constant reminder that eating behaviors have to change. Whether it is immediately after surgery or 10 years after treatment, these operations limit the amount of food a patient can eat and also remind the patient that wise dietary choices should be made. Laparoscopic weight loss surgery, healthy eating habits, and moderate exercise have led to a successful formula for more than a thousand patients at our practice. We invite you to read success stories that some of our patients have shared of their results after bariatric surgery.
