Bariatric Surgery for Lasting Results
For many, bariatric surgery offers a life-changing, medically supported solution to obesity-related health challenges. Our bariatric surgery center in Middleburg Heights is nationally recognized for safe, effective care and lasting outcomes.
What Is Bariatric Surgery?
Bariatric surgery is a suite of advanced procedures aimed at helping your body achieve healthy weight by modifying the digestive tract, which leads to reduced hunger and increased feelings of fullness. Surgery is recommended when traditional methods haven’t provided meaningful or lasting weight loss, or when obesity-related health risks are present.
Types of Bariatric Surgery We Provide
- Gastric bypass surgery
- Sleeve gastrectomy
- Revisional bariatric surgery
- Single anastomosis duodeno-ileostomy (SADI)
- Duodenal switch
What to Consider with Bariatric Surgery
Every surgery comes with unique risks and eligibility requirements. Our compassionate team guides you through every consideration—including bariatric surgery risks, recovery time, and the lifestyle changes required for lifelong success. Expect comprehensive support before, during, and after your procedure.
