Bariatric surgery — a safe, effective treatment for long-term weight loss.

Bariatric surgery is more than a surgical procedure — it's a life-changing decision. The benefits of weight-loss surgery extend far beyond losing pounds. It can dramatically improve a variety of serious obesity-related health conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, fertility and sleep apnea.

Surgical options to fit your weight-loss goals.

Nationally accredited by the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program, Sharp Memorial leads the way in minimally invasive weight-loss procedures. Our surgeries are performed laparoscopically 99 percent of the time, which results in less discomfort, fewer complications, a shorter hospital stay and fast recovery. And you can choose which surgery option is right for you, be it gastric bypass, vertical sleeve gastrectomy or Lap-Band® surgery.
