Get the Skinny on Weight Loss Surgery

Phoebe Bariatrics is changing lives by helping patients lose the weight and live healthier, happier lives. Weight loss surgery offers real hope for seriously obese patients who have experienced little to no success with diet, exercise and behavior modification. Our goal at Phoebe Bariatrics is long-term success for all of our patients – surgery is only one step in the weight loss process.

Our dedicated team of professionals take you through the full spectrum of care.

You may be a good candidate if:

  • Your body mass index (BMI)* is 40 or more – or – you have a BMI of 35-39 and have a weight-related condition, such as type 2 diabetes.
  • You’ve made numerous unsuccessful attempts to lose weight and keep it off.
  • You know the risks and benefits and are prepared to adjust to how you must eat after the procedure.
