Bariatric Care to Pave the Way to a Healthier You
- Is Bariatric Surgery Right for You?
-
If you've reached a point where your weight is leading to serious health issues — or if there are factors beyond lifestyle that make it hard to manage your weight — then it could be time to explore medical weight loss procedures.
Here in Davenport, AdventHealth Weight Loss and Bariatric Surgery offers specialized procedures such as minimally invasive bariatric surgery. We’ll begin by walking you through our bariatric surgery criteria using factors like your BMI, age and any health conditions (like diabetes or high cholesterol) to determine whether you’re a good candidate for surgery.
Then, our bariatric doctors and weight loss specialists will create your step-by-step treatment plan. With an experienced staff at your side and a supportive environment, you’ll find the personalized, whole-person support you need.
