Bariatric Surgery
 Stop waiting. Start living!
Many people struggle to lose weight and keep it off. If your weight is starting to affect your health and your way of life, it may be time to try another option. Bariatric or gastric bypass surgery may be an option for people who have tried other weight loss methods without success.
More than 800 patients have had successful gastric bypass surgery at Gundersen Lutheran using the latest minimally invasive techniques. For most patients, the hospital stay is two days, with less pain and a quicker recovery.
Our average gastric bypass patient has lost about 70% of their excess body weight one year after surgery and then goes on to maintain significant weight loss long-term. Conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure and sleep apnea also show dramatic improvement and in many cases complete resolution.
So, what are you waiting for? Stop waiting, start living! Call (800) 362-9567, ext. 55187 to learn more about gastric bypass surgery at Gundersen Lutheran or to attend a free informational session.
