The Surgical Weight Loss Institute offers procedures for persons 100 pounds or more overweight who have tried and failed to lose weight.  While recognized for quality surgical care, our program's greatest successes are in the lives of patients who are enjoying new-found health benefits.

For the severely obese, carrying around extra pounds can be life threatening.  Obesity may limit important life activities and lead to diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease and a wide range of other serious disorders.  Obesity is now an American epidemic.

Surgical weight loss patients must meet the program's medical criteria.  A multidisciplinary medical team of surgeons, internists, anesthesiologists, psychologists, dietitians, nursing staff, program coordinator and support staff work together to assess each patient individually. They offer continuous support and help with physical, emotional and social problems that patients may face.  Before and after surgery, patients can count on our team for continued education and counseling.  Our one goal is to help you lose weight and enjoy your new life.

Achieving success  requires patient commitment.  After surgery, patients must follow a diet and exercise plan and follow-up regularly with physicians and support staff. 

Many health insurance plans cover weight loss surgery. Our staff can help determine whether your plan will cover your surgery.
