We Are with You on Your Weight Loss Journey
Meet Caroline, who faced challenges with her weight and found it difficult to navigate stairs without becoming breathless. After attempting numerous diets in the past, she discovered Good Samaritan Medical Center’s Weight Loss Surgery program, which transformed her life.
Weight loss surgery is recommended for individuals with a body mass index (BMI) equal to or greater than 35, regardless of presence, absence, or severity of co-morbidities. Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding with the Lap Band® is also FDA-approved for weight loss surgery in people with a BMI of 30 to 35 who have at least one obesity-related condition. Weight loss surgery is considered safe, but like many types of surgery, it does have risks. Consult with your physician about the risks and benefits of weight loss surgery. These testimonials reflect results achieved by these patients. As each case must be independently evaluated and managed, actual weight loss will vary.
