If you’re struggling to lose weight and keep it off through diet and exercise alone, you may be a candidate for bariatric (weight-loss)  surgery.

Obesity increases the risk of diabetes and high blood pressure, and can lead to accompanying health conditions such as:

• Kidney disease
• High cholesterol
• Heart disease
• Type 2 diabetes
• Joint pain
• Infertility
• Sleep apnea
