100 pounds or more above ideal body weight or a BMI of 40 or above

What are my Weight Loss Options?
Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy
This popular, minimally invasive procedure creates a small, banana-shaped stomach to limit how much you can eat. It also improves your gut hormones, helping you feel full and less hungry, and can even reverse type 2 diabetes. No intestinal bypass is needed.
Gastric Bypass
In this procedure, a small stomach pouch is created and connected to the small intestine, bypassing a section of it. This limits both the amount of food you can eat and the calories your body absorbs, promoting weight loss
Gastric Reduction Duodenal Switch
The duodenal switch is a powerful weight loss surgery that combines stomach reduction and intestinal bypass. While more complex, it's highly effective, helping most patients lose around 80% of their excess weight in two years.
Medical Weight Loss
The Weight Loss Center is now offering Medical Weight Loss options to help you achieve your goals. Medications can be a powerful tool for managing chronic weight issues in adults with a BMI of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 or higher with weight-related health conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes.
