Bariatrics

We’re helping patients experience freedom they haven’t felt in years. Bariatric surgery has made the difference, helping them achieve dramatic weight loss. Bariatric surgery can be an option for you when other approaches haven’t produced results. While there are many types of bariatric surgery, all of them are designed to limit the amount of food you eat and help you feel satisfied with smaller portions. Your surgeon will help you choose the procedure that’s right for you.

Our bariatric surgery team is here to support you through each part of your life-changing journey. Our team will help you prepare for surgery by coaching you to make the healthy lifestyle changes that lead to success after surgery. Our long-term commitment to your health also includes the expert follow-up care you’ll need to help you reach your weight loss goals.

Our surgeon performs Roux-en-Y gastric-bypass, adjustable gastric banding, and sleeve gastrectomy, using the minimally invasive laparoscopic approach.

Bariatric surgery isn’t right for everyone, so we also offer our New Images Weight Management Program and Nutrition Center for people striving to achieve weight loss goals.

Chris Edwards, MD
