Helping You Achieve a Healthy Weight

Half of American adults say they want to lose weight, according to a 2015 Nielson study. But as research has shown, it can be very difficult to lose weight— especially if you have a large number of pounds to shed.

Doctors and surgeons at Sutter Gould Medical Foundation offer a comprehensive range of bariatric surgery procedures to help you reach your weight loss goals.

Within the Sutter Health network, our bariatric surgery programs have earned national honors and accreditations including specialty designations by the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery.

Obesity Research

More than a third of Americans are obese, which puts them at risk for heart disease, stroke, diabetes and some cancers. Obesity is also a cause of rising health costs in the U.S. Obesity means a person has 20 percent more body fat than what is healthy — a body mass index of 30 or more. Research into prevention and treatment is critical to improving the health of the nation.
