Bariatric Weight Loss

Losing weight can be extremely difficult. For people who have 100 pounds or more to lose, it can be even more challenging. For some, weight loss surgery may offer a solution where other methods have failed. Bariatric surgery can be life transforming, offering individuals an opportunity to lead a more active and satisfying life.

Bariatric weight loss options at Commonwealth Health include:

• Gastric bypass
• Sleeve gastrectomy
• Revision and conversion surgery

Commonwealth Health’s bariatric surgery program provides education and support that begins before surgery and extends through recovery to ensure individuals are set up for success.
