Bariatric Surgery Overview
Weight loss surgery is for patients with a body mass index (BMI) greater than 40 or a BMI between 35 and 39 with at least one co-morbidity, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, arthritis, osteoarthritis, sleep apnea, hypertension, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and degenerative disc/joint disease.
Hattiesburg Clinic offers a full range of safe and effective weight loss procedures, including the laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.
