Bariatric Surgery

About

A department of MyMichigan Medical Center Sault

For some patients, surgical weight loss may be the most effective means of losing weight. Although it is not right for everyone, it is a proven option for candidates whose obesity does not respond to conventional weight loss methods alone. Our bariatric surgeons have used a variety of surgical interventions, including gastric banding, sleeve gastrectomy, and gastric bypass. In consultation with your bariatric surgeon, you will discuss these options in depth, reviewing the advantages and disadvantages of each.
