Find Local Bariatric Surgeons in Oregon

A concerning public health trend, obesity incidence is on the rise throughout the United States and in various regions including Oregon.   With clearly demonstrated links to an array of complicated and/or severe medical problems, obesity has become a serious topic of interest for many in the fields of research, politics, and medicine.  Some issues that obesity has been linked to are GERD, cardiovascular disease, hyperlipidemia, joint disease, hypertension, diabetes, and obstructive sleep apnea.

Despite this, there is some good news; weight loss surgery has been demonstrated to have a number of positive effects on obese individuals who choose to undergo such procedures as gastric bypass or the lap band.  In patients who have not yet developed one of the previously described problems, their risk decrease; in patients who are already suffering from related symptoms, bariatric surgery has not only lessened and ameliorated the burdens of these conditions – in some situations, it has completely eliminated or resolved them!  This means that, after surgery, the patient may no longer have some of these other problems to contend with!

To take the first step toward a healthier life, call to schedule an appointment with a doctor at Oregon medical centers like Legacy Good Samaritan Hospital, McKenzie-Willamette Medical Center, Sacred Heart Medical Center, Oregon State Hospital, Legacy Mt Hood Medical Center, or Salem Hospital.
