Bariatric Surgery
Bariatric care teams at Krown Hospital provide bariatric surgery and nutrition counseling for weight loss.
Bariatric surgery helps you to lose weight by reducing the size of your stomach and changing how your body absorbs nutrients. Your appetite decreases and your stomach gets fuller with less food. Bariatric care teams at Krown Hospital provide specialty care for surgical and medically supervised weight loss. If you are obese with a body mass index (BMI) of 35 or above, weight-loss surgery may be an option. Talk with your doctor about your answers to these questions:
Does my current weight cause any other chronic health conditions?
Can I commit to documented weight-loss efforts required by my insurance plan?
Am I willing to re-evaluate my diet and exercise regimen to live a healthier life?
Weight-loss surgery can be a deeply personal, life-changing decision.
Our doctors and care team listen to understand you and your health
concerns. Then, we work with you to create a weight-loss plan that’s
right for you.
