Bariatric Surgery
For obese patients considering bariatric (weight loss) surgery, our doctors offer pre and post-operative care. The success rate for bariatric surgery procedures can increase through preparation prior to surgery and proper post-surgery planning. Oftentimes, a bariatric surgeon will recommend weight loss before surgery. Our Addison Internal Medicine doctors can offer medically supervised weight loss to help you achieve set goals prior to surgery.
​
After bariatric surgery is performed, it is important to get your body nutritionally healthy and strong. We work with patients to design an appropriate nutrition and exercise plan to support weight loss and overall health before and after surgery.
