Why Bariatric Weight Loss?
Aley Tohamy, MD, weight loss surgeon Sean Yuan, MD, weight loss surgeon
An estimated 97 million adults in the United States are overweight or obese, a condition that substantially raises the risk of serious illness from hypertension, high blood cholesterol levels, type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, stroke, gallbladder disease, osteoarthritis, sleep apnea, respiratory problems, as well as breast, colon, endometrial and prostate cancers. Higher body weights are also associated with an increase in early death. As the second leading cause of preventable death in the United States, obesity poses a major public health challenge.

Dr. Tohamy and Dr. Yuan encourage you to gather information on weight loss surgery by researching, talking with our team members and attending support groups. By developing your own knowledge base about this treatment, you'll be empowered to reach your goal of long-term weight loss.
If you're more than 100 pounds over your ideal weight, join Dr. Tohamy and Dr. Yuan for an informational session. Or, if you've already had surgery and would like ongoing encouragement, join us at a support group meeting.
