Bariatric Surgeons Throughout the United States, Mexico and Canada

Bariatric surgery can help obese individuals lose their excess weight, improve their overall health, and achieve more fulfilling lifestyles. While weight loss surgery is not a magic cure, it can help severely overweight patients begin their journey towards a slimmer waistline and a happier life. Recent advancements in the field of bariatric surgery have significantly decreased the risks and inconveniences associated with surgical weight loss treatments. Many procedures can be performed laparoscopically (by using thin surgical instruments and special cameras inserted through the abdominal wall) and require only several small incisions. As a result, the risk of infection is reduced and patients recover faster. In addition, some weight loss procedures can be performed through the mouth and do not require any incisions. For example, Stomaphyx is performed entirely through the mouth using only local anesthesia. While these minimally invasive procedures are suitable for many patients, they are not for everyone. If you are considering weight loss surgery, you should consult with your surgeon in order to select the most appropriate procedure.

Weight loss surgery is associated with a number of health benefits, including reduced pressure on the joints, lessening of sleep apnea, and improvement in the blood cholesterol and glucose levels. As a result of these changes, many post-bariatric patients are allowed to discontinue the use of various arthritis, cholesterol and diabetes medications, including Avandia. The latter drug has been shown to cause a variety of dangerous complications. An especially perilous Avandia side effect is a stroke. By stopping the use of Avandia, many patients can significantly reduce or completely eliminate the risk of becoming a stroke Avandia victim.
