Bariatric Surgery
For those who have exhausted their non-surgical weight loss options, gastric bypass may be a consideration. Gastric bypass surgery involves separating the stomach into two unequal compartments, with less than 5% of the stomach remaining usable for food consumption. This surgical procedure, along with a variety of support programs, is specifically designed to help the morbidly obese lose weight. Other support programs include Behavioral Modification, Diabetes Education, Nutrition Education and Psychological Counseling.
Bariatric surgery is offered at our Park Rapids location. For more information, please click on or call one of the clinic locations listed at the right.
