Obesity is more than a cosmetic concern—it is a chronic medical condition that can affect nearly every system in the body. Excess body weight places added strain on the heart, joints, and metabolism, increasing the risk of serious health problems such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, fatty liver disease, and cardiovascular complications. Many people spend years trying different diets, exercise routines, and medications without achieving long-term success, often because obesity is influenced by complex hormonal, metabolic, and genetic factors. When conventional weight-loss methods no longer provide lasting results, bariatric surgery can offer an effective and medically proven solution. Modern bariatric procedures work by reducing the size of the stomach and, in some cases, altering the digestive process to promote healthier eating habits and long-term weight management. Beyond substantial weight loss, these procedures can improve blood sugar control, lower blood pressure, enhance mobility, reduce joint pain, and increase energy levels, allowing individuals to lead a more active and fulfilling life. Depending on the type of surgery, the procedure generally takes between one and three hours, while complete recovery and lifestyle adjustment occur gradually over the following months. Success depends not only on surgery but also on ongoing nutritional guidance, regular follow-up, and a commitment to healthier habits. With the right medical support, bariatric surgery can significantly improve overall health while reducing the long-term risks associated with severe obesity.

Gastrointestinal surgery encompasses a wide range of procedures that treat benign (noncancerous) and malignant (cancer) conditions that affect the body's digestive system.
The GI tract is another name for your body's digestive tract. It consists of several tube-like organs joined together—starting at the esophagus in the mouth and ending at your anus. Each piece of the GI tract plays a role in how your body digests (breaks down) food and nutrients. Organs that make up the GI tract include: Esophagus Stomach Small intestine (small bowel) Large intestine (colon) Rectum Anus The digestive system also includes organs that aren't part of the GI tract. These organs include: Gallbladder Liver Pancreas
Both gastroenterologists and GI surgeons diagnose and treat conditions affecting the digestive system. Gastroenterologists are trained in internal medicine and receive additional training in problems of the digestive system. They treat GI conditions medically (such as with medicines) and perform nonsurgical procedures, such as colonoscopies.
Individuals with a body mass index of 35kg/m2 and a weight related condition (diabetes, sleep apnea, high blood pressure) or 40kg/m2 or greater are eligible for bariatric surgery.
Individuals who do not meet the BMI criteria are typically not candidates for bariatric surgery. Someone with complex medical and surgical needs may meet the BMI criteria but after meeting with a surgeon, it can be determine that the individual risk is greater than the potential benefit of the surgery. These situations are rare and are discussed individually with your care team.
