Weight Loss (Bariatric) Surgery

If you are obese, and life-style changes and taking medications have not helped you lose enough weight, surgery may be an option. There are many benefits to weight loss surgery. In addition to feeling better physically and emotionally, patients are very likely to see an improvement concerning asthma, diabetes, high blood pressure, obstructive sleep apnea, GERD, and arthritis. Patients may also see improvement concerning congestive heart failure, depression, urinary incontinence, menstrual irregularity, infertility (women) and hirsutism (excessive facial hair in women). Dr. Michael Heuman performs bariatric procedures at Gateway Medical Center, which has been designated a Weight Loss Surgery Center of Excellence by the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery.
