Surgical Services

For many people who have struggled with obesity, a consistent regimen of diet and exercise is simply not an effective means of weight loss. Weight loss surgery, also called bariatric surgery, may be necessary to better regulate and restrict the body’s normal digestive processes.

Patient Success Stories - Marci S.

I chose bariatric surgery because I no longer wanted to miss out on the life I wanted to live. All I had to do was ask and help was delivered. The BayCare team didn’t just treat my obesity, they partnered with me to take on the full challenge of changing my life and gave me tools to set me up for long term success.
