Weight Loss Surgery
Berkshire Center for Weight Loss Surgery: Improving Health, Transforming Life
People who are significantly over weight often have severe medical problems related to obesity. Many are diabetic, have high blood pressure, heart disease, acid reflux, chronic joint pain and breathing problems. Weight loss surgery (also called bariatric surgery) can improve or even resolve many of the health issues associated with severe obesity, while dramatically increasing quality of life.
Weight loss surgery is recognized by the National Institutes of Health as the only method that works for people suffering from severe obesity. Berkshire Medical Center, in collaboration with the Berkshire Center for Weight Loss Surgery, provides two laparoscopic or minimally invasive weight loss surgical procedures with excellent results.
The Berkshire Center for Weight Loss Surgery offers Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding as well as Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass as choices for patients seeking to improve their health with surgery. In addition, our comprehensive bariatric surgery program includes the education and support our patients need to succeed. Our dedicated bariatric healthcare professionals and support staff stand by our patients every step of the way as they begin a new journey toward better health and a better life.
Our goal is to help patients achieve healthier and happier lives through weight loss. Nonetheless, surgery is never an easy decision.
