Robotic Weight Loss Surgery Experts

  • Allows complex procedures with more precision
  • Reduces overall complications
  • Reduces recovery time

Am I a Candidate for Weight Loss (Bariatric) Surgery?

Multiple factors need to be considered to ensure either surgical or non-surgical treatment is appropriate for your individual health goals and needs. We help you understand what options are available based on your medical history, lifestyle, habits and mental health. The important thing to remember is you are not in this alone. We’re with you every step of the way.

Patients must meet the following criteria to qualify as a weight loss surgery candidate:

  • Traditional weight loss methods, such as diet and exercise, have had little or no effect in helping you lose weight or keep weight off
  • You don’t have conditions that could lead to serious complications in surgery
  • You are committed to making healthy lifestyle choices
  • You understand the risks and benefits of weight loss surgery
