Welcome to our web site on WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY.

The purpose of this site is to give you information about weight loss surgery. We think that almost everyone suffering from morbid obesity should consider weight loss surgery to live longer, live healthier, and enjoy a better quality of life. You might notice that we don't have any streaming banner ads to catch your eye, or before and after pictures of our most youthful looking and successful patients.  We hope you appreciate our approach to weight loss surgery and choose to come to us for consultation and surgery. 

You may also attend one of our free informational seminars. Click here for information on how to arrange a consultation or reserve a space at an upcoming seminar.

We offer three options for surgery: 

• Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass
• Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding with either the LapBand or REALIZEband
• Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy
