Weight loss - and the infomercials, the books, and the DVDs that accompany it - might be considered an American industry, but at Northern Michigan Regional Health System it is a respected goal.
Now, clients may realize the benefits of healthy weight through two proven methods that both provide monitored weight loss, customized for your specific needs:
Bariatric Surgery
Bariatric surgery is not for everyone, but it is a proven option for candidates whose obesity does not respond to traditional weight loss methods.
Four laparoscopic surgical options are tailored to individual patients including Gastric Banding (Lap Band Surgery), Sleeve Gastrectomy, Gastric Bypass, and Duodenal Switch. Approved patients must be willing to follow outpatient guidelines concerning health maintenance and lifestyle changes.
Our team of four board certified bariatric surgeons has extensive experience. They are leaders in the state of Michigan with over 6,000 bariatric procedures performed.
Medical Weight Management
Weight management options are tailored to achieve the appropriate weight loss for optimal health and wellness. This long-term multidisciplinary approach includes behaviorists, dietitians, exercise specialists, and physicians.
