Inspire Bariatrics understands your pain. We see patients every day who have tried to lose weight their entire lives without any luck.

Bariatrics is a branch of medicine that focuses on the study and treatment of obesity. Preventing and treating obesity is important because obesity can lead to other life-threatening issues like:
- Heart disease
- Stroke
- NAFLD
- NASH
- Sleep apnea
- Type 2 diabetes
Oftentimes, a bariatric doctor will first try to treat their patient with diet, exercise, and behavioral therapy. However, if the case is severe, bariatric surgery may be suggested.
At Inspire Bariatrics, we offer several forms of bariatric surgery, including minimally invasive options.
