Bariatric & Advanced Laparoscopic Surgery
Bariatrics:
Bariatrics (Weight Loss Surgery) has been proven to be a safe and effective tool for durable and maintained weight loss. The aim of Bariatric Surgery is to lose weight and become more healthy by curing or improving the significant medical problems that are associated with weight gain, for example high blood pressure, diabetes, sleep apnea, depression, heartburn, joint pain, low energy levels, menstrual and infertility problems, etc.
We offer a team approach including surgical, psychological and dietary assessments, and implement minimally invasive techniques (laparoscopic surgery) which provide faster recovery, less pain and smaller incision sites.
The Bariatric Team at Preston Memorial Hospital looks forward to working with you through this life changing process. We are here for you if you have any questions or just need to talk. Thank you for trusting us with your care.
