SEE HOW OUR WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY PROGRAM IS CHANGING LIVES
Obesity is a serious condition that can compromise your health,
your happiness and your life. The Weight Loss Surgery Program at
Crystal Run Healthcare can help. We understand that you have most
likely exhausted all other traditional methods to achieve lasting
weight loss. That’s why we offer both laparoscopic banding and
gastric bypass surgeries, two highly successful bariatric surgery
techniques that safely allows you to be on a diet without suffering
from hunger.
ARE YOU A CANDIDATE FOR WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY?
To qualify for bariatric surgery, you must have a Body Mass Index
(BMI) over 40, or, have a BMI over 35 and also be experiencing
other health problems such as high blood pressure, diabetes and/or
sleep apnea. If you meet these requirements and decide to proceed
with your surgery, you will be scheduled for a comprehensive
physical exam; be evaluated by a cardiologist, pulmonologist and
nutritionist; and, join one of our weight loss support groups. All
of these appointments can be conveniently scheduled all in one
day, all in one place.
