Bariatric Weight Loss Services
At Lutheran Health Network, we understand that losing weight can be extremely difficult. We also know it's never too late to take control of your health. If you're struggling with obesity, and repeated dieting and exercise just haven't worked, bariatric weight loss surgery may be the solution.
Our bariatric surgery programs offer proven services and support when traditional options haven't worked. We're here from pre- to post-surgery and after to help you lose weight, reduce the risks for serious medical conditions and enjoy long-term, life-changing success.
You may be a candidate for bariatric surgery if you:
- Are between the ages of 18 and 65 (If you're younger or older, your case may be considered)
- Have a body mass index (BMI) of 35 or higher or are more than 100 pounds overweight
- Have a BMI of 30 to 34.9 coupled with weight-related condition(s) such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea or heart disease
- Have tried or are currently trying to lose weight through other means such as diet, exercise and behavioral changes with only short term success
- Are psychologically ready for weight loss surgery and willing to commit to a whole new lifestyle
- Do not drink alcohol in excess
