Start your weight-loss journey today

For millions of Americans, trying to lose weight is a losing battle—one that can limit your mobility, health and confidence. As weight increases so does the risk for diabetes, sleep apnea, and heart disease. If any of that sounds familiar, it may be time to consider St. Mary Medical Center’s comprehensive bariatrics program.

While diet, exercise, and medical therapy can be good options for some people, they are not effective for everyone. Numerous proven studies have shown that once your weight has reached a certain level, bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment to improve your health and regain your quality of life.

Program goals

The St. Mary Bariatric Surgery Program is designed to provide the resources and education you need both before and after surgery to help you succeed in losing weight and sustain it long-term. With various support groups and a care team to guide you along, our goals for your success in the bariatric program include:

• Improvement of co-existing medical conditions.
• Improved quality of life, self-esteem, self-respect, health, and appearance.
• Long-term weight loss.
• Education for better nutrition and physical fitness, and to prevent postoperative complications.
