Find a Local Bariatric Surgeon in Indiana

According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, obesity in America and states like Indiana is increasing at an alarming rate.  For the millions of Americans who are obese, this translates into the potential for numerous other health conditions that have been found to be associated with obesity. These include hyperlipidemia, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease among a host of others.  Oftentimes these complicating factors translate into decreased quality of life and increased costs of healthcare; however, medical research has determined that bariatric surgery (which is also called weight loss surgery) is, in many cases, able to reverse and sometimes to completely resolve the conditions that are associated with obesity.

To be eligible for procedures like the lap band or gastric bypass, which are the two most routinely performed procedures today, an individual must have a Body Mass Index of 40 or above.  However, this number is flexible depending on whether the physician determines that the complicating health problems warrant that the patient undergo one of these procedures at a lower BMI.  For these reasons, it is important to consult your physician about the possibility of bariatric surgery if you have been diagnosed with obesity-related health problems.

If you would like to find out whether you are a candidate for weight loss surgery, arrange an appointment with a surgeon at such facilities as Clarion Health Hospitals, St. Francis Hospital, the Indiana University Medical Center, Riverside Hospital, or numerous others.  Please also use the city-specific links below to locate a gastric surgeon in your vicinity.
