Welcome

Morbid obesity is a chronic disease with symptoms that build slowly over an extended period of time. An estimated 5-10 million Americans are considered morbidly obese. Obesity becomes "morbid" when it causes one or more obesity-related health conditions or serious diseases (also known as co-morbidities) that result in significant physical disability or even death.

Weight loss surgery is used to treat morbid obesity.  This site provides valuable information about the benefits and risks of weight loss surgery. However, the best way to get a full assessment of your condition is to schedule a consultation to determine if weight loss surgery may be an option for you.
