Criteria & Requirements For Bariatric Surgery
If you are significantly overweight and have tried without success to get your weight under control, you may be a candidate for weight loss surgery and your doctor may recommend bariatric surgery.
Bariatric surgery has been shown to help reduce obesity and related illnesses, including heart disease, high blood pressure, and type 2 diabetes.
