Who We Are
We are a directory of minimally invasive surgeons participating in bariatric procedures at the new state of the art medical facility called Pine Creek Medical Center. These surgeons offer comprehensive weight loss programs that provide weight
loss surgery as well as the medical management of obesity.
We firmly believe that this combined approach ensures better
long-term results.
Our Support Group
Our support group is an integral part of our patient's successful
weight loss experience. Many of our patients have told us that
our support group has a positive and significant impact on them.
We encourage our patients to develop lifelong relationships
that extend past our regular support group meetings, and contact
each other frequently by phone, email, and casual get-togethers.

Patient Options
There are several options for weight loss surgery. The Lap-Band
is a newer technique for pure restrictive weight loss surgery.
There is no malabsorptive component to the procedure, and weight
loss is achieved strictly by a reduction in the amount of calories
consumed. The Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is another procedure
that is performed. <<More>>
Facilities Such As:
Pine Creek Medical Center

Do I really need surgery to lose
weight?
Weight loss is a national obsession it seems. Although some people
lose that extra 10 to 20 pounds at the gym, most gain it back eventually.
However, if you are one of the millions of Americans who find that
non-surgical solutions such as diet and exercise programs simply do
not work for them, the lapband® procedure can be the key to a
new and healthier life.
Not everyone needs the procedure or qualifies. <<More>>
Insurance
There are a variety of plans. Some
will accept this procedure and some will not. Others offer you more
choices, more doctors and greater flexibility in choosing a location
near you. You may wish to review what insurances are accepted. <<More>>
