Flowers Hospital Center for Metabolic and Weight Loss Surgery
Bariatric surgery has proven to be effective by improving the health of individuals and many obesity-related conditions. Bariatric surgery procedures are only done when deemed necessary and all non-surgical options have been exhausted.
Bariatric surgery, the surgical reduction of stomach volume, is performed using one of two procedures: gastric bypass or gastric banding. Both procedures reduce stomach volume to about 30 ml. After surgery the amount of food intake must decrease and all food must be chewed thoroughly.
Benefits of the surgery include reduction or elimination of adult onset diabetes, high blood pressure and respiratory conditions such as sleep apnea. It is not just about cosmetic changes but life changing surgery. Adaptation to life after weight loss surgery is ongoing. Our monthly support group provides a secure, inviting setting for patients undergoing the process of lifestyle changes to improve surgery outcomes and is necessary to achieve long-term weight loss. For more information on our program, please call 334-944-7095 or read our brochure.
