Obesity is a condition you don’t have to fight alone. Mercy’s bariatric specialists can help you shed those pounds and discover a healthier, happier you.
Bariatric weight loss surgery is a proven procedure that reduces your stomach capacity or your ability to absorb calories. Some of the surgeries we offer include gastric sleeve surgery, gastric bypass, gastric band and others. These surgeries are a great option when diet and exercise won't do the trick. It's also recommended if you're at a particular risk for obesity-related complications such as heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure.
At Mercy, our specialists conduct an in-depth consultation to see if bariatric surgery is right for you. We deal with the most complex cases in adults and will work closely with you to achieve long-lasting results. For those who do not meet the criteria for weight-loss surgery, we have other treatment options including less invasive, temporary solutions like the intragastric balloon procedure.
When you choose Mercy, you get a team of experts including endocrinologists, surgeons, dietitians, physical therapists, cardiologists and psychologists who are dedicated to your long-term health. As you drop the pounds, we coordinate your care with your primary care doctor and any specialists to ensure your success. We work to protect your health over time by providing immediate follow-up care, and ongoing support.
If you're considering bariatric weight loss surgery, you've come to the right place. Our weight loss specialists will answer your questions and provide the best care, every step of the way. Surgery is just one part of your lifelong commitment to better health — and we’re here to help.
