Bariatric Education

The purpose of the content on this webpage is to provide the essential information you will need to navigate the process of having bariatric surgery. The members of the Bariatric Surgery Team are proud to provide care for patients who are seeking effective treatment for obesity and its associated health conditions.

Bariatric patients require care from the initial consultation, through the surgery, and beyond. Having bariatric surgery will affect many aspects of your daily life, so we work closely with other members of the healthcare team in our program to ensure that our patients have safe and healthy outcomes.
