People with obesity not only face the medical consequences of their disease, but also live with discrimination and guilt every day. The emotional and physical tolls can be devastating.

For those who have tried a wide variety of diets, exercise and behavior therapy programs without success, there is still hope.

If you’re between the ages of 18 and 60, are more than 100 pounds overweight, have a BMI score of 35+, and suffer from any obesity-related health issues, bariatric surgery offers a way to take back your life.

Bariatric surgery could be a solution if you feel ready to commit to the following:

• a consistent exercise program
• long-term dietary changes that include vitamin and mineral supplements
• counseling and follow-up care
