Weight Loss Surgery
Weight loss surgery, otherwise known as Bariatric surgery, is designed to help individuals shed weight and manage obesity-related illnesses like diabetes and the risk of stroke. Our providers will examine the individual's body mass index (BMI), age, and commitment to weight loss to determine whether they qualify for surgery. The procedure includes altering the digestive system to limit the individual's food intake.
When preparing for surgery, the individual will meet with members of the Schneck team to determine the best course of action. In doing so, the person will gain an understanding of what to expect and how to prepare for the surgery. They may be given a diet and exercise plan pre-op.
The team at Schneck Medical Center is here to help individuals live healthy and fulfilling lives. We want our patients to be well-informed about their health and active members in deciding their treatment plans.
