What is Weight Loss Surgery? 

Weight loss surgery, also called bariatric surgery, involves procedures that help you lose weight by making changes to your digestive system. These surgeries can help reduce hunger, limit food intake, or change how your body absorbs nutrients, leading to significant and sustained weight loss through a combination of surgery, diet, activity and lifestyle. 

Weight Loss Surgery Eligibility 

Weight loss surgery is not right for everyone and requires a lifelong commitment to your health. At Southcoast Health, we work to ensure that we provide weight loss programs that meet our patients’ unique needs. That’s why we have select conditions for those interested in our weight loss programs in southeastern Massachusetts. 

Types of Surgery We Offer

From a full spectrum of pre-op classes and consultations to post-op support groups, we are here to facilitate long term solutions through surgery, diet and exercise.

We offer the following weight loss procedures:

• Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) – One of the most performed and effective types of weight loss surgery that helps you lose weight by changing how your stomach and small intestine handle the food you eat. 
• Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy – A weight loss procedure that helps you lose weight by reducing the size of your stomach and is less complex than gastric bypass, offering excellent long-term results for many patients. 
• Weight regain after bariatric surgery – This surgery is focused on improving your quality of life if you are dealing with chronic acid reflux (GERD) after a sleeve gastrectomy or gastric bypass.
