While weight loss surgery may not be for everyone, MidMichigan Health’s Surgical Weight Management Program can offer hope to individuals who have been unsuccessful in the past with traditional weight loss methods. Research has shown that, with surgical assistance, patients typically lose 60 percent of excess weight in the first year following bariatric surgery. Even better, 90 percent of problems such as diabetes, sleep apnea, high blood pressure and depression are resolved or controlled.
