Bariatric Surgery Program
Bariatric Surgery
The most successful treatment for significant long-term weight loss.
Bariatric surgery can help treat obesity-related conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure and sleep apnea when diet and medications aren't enough, or when GLP-1s cause severe side effects.
Our comprehensive Bariatric Surgery Program at Overlake offers an array of treatment options tailored to your individual needs, empowering you to achieve your weight-loss goals and regain control of your health.
Weight-loss (bariatric) surgery results in significant, long-term weight loss and helps to prevent, improve or resolve many obesity-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes, coronary artery heart disease, high blood pressure and sleep apnea. On average, general life expectancy has been shown to increase by 10 years and reduce the risk of certain cancers, strokes and heart attacks.
