If you are one of the 9 million severely obese Americans who have little hope of losing weight and keeping it off, then you may be a candidate for our surgical weight-loss program. Bariatric surgery re-routes the digestive system, allowing you to eat less, reduce your appetite for high fat and high-sugar foods, and absorb fewer calories. As a result, you can lose weight rapidly while changing the eating habits that contribute to obesity.

We offer innovative surgical procedures performed by our experienced medical team in our Oakland facilities. Our proactive approach supports you through the lifelong changes that occur following surgery.



We perform:
Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass
Laparoscopic Adjustable Band

In addition to losing weight, bariatric surgery may also provide you with relief from a variety of health problems that are linked to obesity, including:
· High blood pressure, hypertension
· High blood cholesterol, dyslipidemia
· Type 2 (non-insulin dependent) diabetes
· Coronary heart disease
· Obstructive sleep apnea and respiratory problems

For some people, weight-loss surgery can be a life-saving option: More than 90 percent of morbidly obese patients with medical conditions such as diabetes or hypertension no longer require medications to control their diseases.

We consider bariatric surgery to be one of the tools in our comprehensive program to help you achieve the weight loss you desire. Other elements of our program include extensive patient education, support groups, nutritional counseling, and periodic health check-ups.
