Surgery is not right for everyone. There are many reasons you may not want or need to partake in weight loss surgery, and, whenever possible, we prioritize lifestyle alterations before making that decision to have surgery. At our facilities, you can work with registered dieticians, who provide nutritional counseling and education, as well as support groups to help you foster the emotional and peer interactions you need.
