Weight Loss Surgery

Discover the New You With Weight Loss Surgery

If you’re struggling with your weight, know that you are not alone. Millions of Americans fall into the category of clinically severe excess weight (more than 100 pounds overweight with a BMI greater than 40). In addition to morbid obesity, many are suffering from type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea and other medical conditions.

At Southcoast Health, we are proud to offer our community several options for weight loss surgery. Whether you suffer from high blood pressure or diabetes, or you would like to enjoy a more active life, our bariatric team at Southcoast Health Weight Loss, we will work with you to develop your individualized plan of care and help you lose weight.

Types of Surgery We Offer

Our comprehensive weight loss surgery program consists of a team of experienced health care professionals who are focused on your success and bringing you the results you are looking for. 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.

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.
