Empowering change through Bariatric Surgery

Why choose CommonSpirit for Weight Loss Surgery?

Bariatric surgery, also known as weight loss surgery, involves changing your digestive system to help you lose weight. We support you before, during and after surgery to ensure you have the tools and information you need for success.

Personalized care that puts your well-being first

We typically recommend bariatric surgery for people who have not achieved lasting results with diet and exercise alone. In addition, they have a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or higher or 35 or higher along with conditions including diabetes, heart disease or sleep apnea. Our weight loss surgeons help you understand if this approach is right for you and create a long-term plan to improve your health.

Weight loss solutions that transform lives

Bariatric surgery can be life-changing — and life-saving. It can improve conditions like diabetes and arthritis. It can reduce or eliminate the need for medications. It can also reduce the serious health risks of carrying significant extra weight. Our skilled bariatric surgeons offer traditional and minimally invasive surgeries to help you regain control of your health.

Weight loss support beyond the operating room

We take a comprehensive and supportive approach to weight loss surgery that extends well beyond the operating room. Where available, our nutrition services, behavioral health counseling and education seminars offer resources throughout the process. We strive to help you make sustainable weight and lifestyle changes.
