What is bariatric surgery?

Metabolic and bariatric surgery helps people with severe obesity achieve significant, durable weight loss and improve or resolve conditions like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and joint pain. The most common procedures are the sleeve gastrectomy (which removes part of the stomach to reduce its size) and the gastric bypass (which reroutes the digestive tract). Both are performed with minimally invasive laparoscopic or robotic techniques. Bariatric surgery is not a shortcut — it’s one part of a supported program that includes medical evaluation, nutrition, and long-term follow-up to help you succeed.

Am I a candidate, and what should I expect?

You may be a candidate if:

  • A body mass index (BMI) of 40 or higher, or 35+ with an obesity-related condition
  • A history of trying to lose weight through diet and exercise without lasting results
  • Readiness to commit to the nutrition and lifestyle changes that make surgery succeed

What to expect:

  • A comprehensive evaluation — medical, nutritional, and psychological — to plan safely
  • A procedure choice (sleeve or bypass) matched to your health and goals
  • A minimally invasive, hospital-based operation with a short stay

Recovery:

  • A staged diet — liquids progressing to solids — guided by our team
  • A gradual return to activity, with walking encouraged right away
  • Structured long-term follow-up and nutrition support to protect your results

Surgical approaches

Whenever it is appropriate, our surgeons use minimally invasive laparoscopic and robotic (da Vinci) techniques for bariatric surgery, which generally mean smaller incisions, less pain, and a faster recovery than open surgery. Your surgeon will recommend the safest, most effective approach for your specific condition. Learn more about our robotic surgery program.

Frequently asked questions

How much weight will I lose?
Results vary by procedure and by person, but patients who follow the program typically lose a substantial portion of their excess weight over the first 12–18 months. We’ll set realistic expectations at your consultation.

Is weight-loss surgery covered by insurance?
Many insurance plans cover bariatric surgery when specific medical criteria are met. Our team will help verify your benefits and guide you through the approval process, and we can discuss self-pay options.

Which is better — gastric sleeve or bypass?
Neither is universally “better.” The right choice depends on your weight, health conditions, and goals. Your surgeon will review the trade-offs of each and recommend the best fit for you.

Is bariatric surgery safe?
Modern bariatric surgery is minimally invasive and has a strong safety record. Every patient is carefully evaluated beforehand, and our program supports you closely before and long after surgery.
