Why Southern Oregon Center
for Obesity Surgery?

We have intimate knowledge and sensitivity when caring for overweight patients. Just know that the Southern Oregon Center for Obesity Surgery representative(s) who take your call will treat you with respect, will take the time to answer any questions you may have about programs and/or surgeon(s) at Sky Lakes Medical Center as well as take you through the steps of getting started.

The surgical options that the Southern Oregon Center for Obesity Surgery offer are Gastric Bypass (open & laparoscopic) and the Laparoscopic Adjustable Lap-Band® procedure. These operations dramatically restrict food intake, thus promoting weight loss. Weight loss surgery involves dramatic, and in some procedures, permanent changes in the patient's stomach. Risks come with each surgical procedure which are also thoroughly discussed during free informational seminars and during one to one consultations with the surgeon.

Please note that the information presented is for informational purposes only. This does not take the place of a consultation with your surgeon. Please always follow the guidelines that your surgeon has in place.

Change In Your Life

Commitment you make to yourself by deciding to take advantage of this comprehensive program will start a dramatic change in your life.

"I am doing really well - maintaining my weight, staying fit and enjoying life to the fullest.

"I would not change a thing and if asked I would go through it all over again.

"It was well worth the time, cost, and pain. I feel great, look great (at least that's what I'm told), and feel that I should have done it 10 years earlier!"
