Find a Local Colorado Bariatric Surgeon

The problem of obesity in the United States is widespread and has affected Colorado. Research over the past decade has illuminated the plethora of obesity-related medical complications that can range from mild to severe.  These include cardiovascular disease, joint disease, sleep apnea, and diabetes.  Fortunately, scientific advances have also produced safer and more effective procedures that can help individuals who have been unsuccessful at dieting and exercising to achieve their ideal weight goal.

Although there are 4weight loss surgery procedures, the 2 most common are gastric bypass surgery and lap band surgery (the others are biliopancreaticdiversion with duodenal switch and vertical banded gastroplasty). In particular, the lap band retains the patient’s normal digestive tract, which reduces the potential for certain complications that are associated with some of the other procedures.  However, certain procedures are more appropriate for specific situations than are others so it is always important to discuss all of your options with your physician.
