Weight Loss and Bariatric Surgery
We are here to help you find what you need.
Carrying excess weight (more than 30 extra pounds) can cause numerous health issues. Being overweight or obese can contribute to sleep apnea, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes and depression. If you are overweight, you are not alone.
But there is some good news… help is available for you at the Utah Center for Minimally Invasive and Bariatric Surgery in West Jordan, UT. If you have tried to lose weight on your own and have either been (1) unable to achieve results or (2) quickly put the lost weight back on, you may be a candidate for bariatric surgery.
Jordan Valley Medical Center is proud to be accredited by the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery as a Comprehensive Center for weight loss surgery. Your weight loss journey begins with our team of dedicated surgeons, nurses, dieticians, and personalized patient coordination. For more information visit CMIBS.com.
