Bariatric surgery is the most effective tool for weight management and combined with dietary and lifestyle changes, it can open the door to a more active and healthy life. Dr. Ghaderi and his multidisciplinary team help patients through their weight loss journey.
​
Most studies show that patients can lose 60-70% of their excess weight after bariatric surgery. These patients can also benefit from improvement or resolution of obesity related conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea. Bariatric surgery is associated with a longer life expectancy and a better quality of life. The patients who receive bariatric surgery also have a reduced risk of developing cancers and heart diseases.
