Weight Loss Surgery in Santa Rosa, California

Perhaps your story is typical of many overweight patients, who have tried diet after diet, initially meeting success - losing 10, 25, maybe even 50 or 80 pounds, but then having the weight come right back on once the diet is stopped. In fact, for the morbidly obese, the chance for long-term success - getting the necessary weight off and keeping it off using diet and medication is estimated to be less than 10%.

For this reason, the National Institute of Health has stated that for certain patients, surgery represented the best option for long-term management of obesity and the medical problems associated with obesity.

Surgery can achieve weight loss of 60 to 80% of excess weight, usually achieving this over 1-2 years, and enables the patient to keep this weight off long-term. In addition, these operations can successfully reduce, eliminate, or prevent such weight-related health problems as diabetes, sleep apnea, hypertension, and degenerative arthritis in over 90% of cases.
