Are you losing an uphill battle with weight loss? Have traditional methods of weight control, such as diet or exercise, proved largely unsuccessful? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, weight-loss surgery from the bariatric surgeons at Pinehurst Surgical may be your next best step.

  • Have a history of failure to control weight through other methods such as diet and exercise

What are the benefits of bariatric surgery?

  • Significant long-term weight loss
  • Effective control of Type 2 diabetes
  • Effective control of high blood pressure
  • Control of sleep apnea
  • Improved symptoms of arthritis related to excess weight
  • Greatly improved physical appearance
