Being seriously overweight can lead to life-threatening medical conditions such as severe diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, gastroesophageal reflux and heart disease. As the pounds come off, health problems can dramatically improve or disappear entirely. Patients seek bariatric surgery to reduce the number of obesity-related complications like heart disease, stroke, sleep apnea and diabetes.
The Bariatric Center at Inland Valley Medical Center has been designated a Bariatric Surgery Comprehensive Center by the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP).
Listen as Dr. David Suh, the Medical Director of the Bariatric Weight-loss program at Southwest Health Care System, discusses Bariatric surgery as a tool to aid in the long term weight loss that could improve the quality of the rest of your life.
