Can bariatric surgery work? Absolutely! Is it a safe option? Absolutely!

But with any weight loss surgery there are risks involved. Your primary care physician and bariatric surgeon will discuss these with you every step of the way, but the benefits of gastric bypass surgery or another bariatric procedure far outweigh the risks.

The health problems with obesity, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and joint problems can all be treated - or permanently erased - giving a person the freedom to reclaim his or her life.

Don't just take my word for it. The short video below gives Dr. Mattar an opportunity to talk about weight loss surgery and you can hear from one of the Clarian Bariatric patients, Brook, who lost 120-pounds, but gained confidence.
