An estimated five to ten million Americans are considered morbidly obese. Obesity is now recognized as a serious, chronic disease which can result in declining health, pain and isolation.

The solution is Parkview Center for Surgical Weight Loss. For people who are 100 pounds or more overweight and/or have significant obesity-related problems, weight loss surgery represents hope for lasting success. Our program provides obese and morbidly obese individuals a surgical alternative to failed diet and weight loss programs. Our patients no longer want to be subjected to the effects of obesity such as Diabetes, Asthma, High Blood Pressure, Sleep apnea, Depression, Infertility, and Osteoarthritis of weight-bearing joints.

The weight loss surgeries we perform, Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass, Open Gastric Bypass, and Laparoscopic Banding (lap-band), have outstanding success with a proven track record of long-term weight loss, dramatic improvement in quality of life and resolution of weight-related medical problems.

Parkview’s Center is unique in that it offers a comprehensive program of pre-operative, surgical, and post-operative surgical services. The pre-op and post-op program of patient education, physician consultation, dietary counseling, physical therapy and surgical follow-up is offered at our outpatient office located on the campus at Parkview. A multi-disciplinary team of professionals including bariatric surgeons, anesthesiologists, internists, psychologists, nurses, dieticians and ancillary staff are all specially trained in caring for the special needs of the patients. Surgeries are performed at Parkview Community Hospital which has a designated wing with private rooms and specially- trained nurses to address the needs of our patients.
