Surgical Weight Loss Program
Bariatric surgery is a long-term weight loss option for people who are clinically obese, especially those with related health conditions like type 2 diabetes.
At Broward Health, our experienced bariatric surgeons use proven techniques to support your weight loss by changing how your digestive system processes food. This may involve limiting how much you can eat, how much your body absorbs—or both.
Procedures We Offer:
- Sleeve Gastrectomy – Removes a portion of the stomach to help you feel full sooner
- Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass – Reroutes part of the digestive system to reduce calorie absorption
- Revision and Conversion Surgery – Adjusts or replaces a previous weight loss procedure when needed
To be considered for bariatric surgery, candidates must:
- Be 18 years of age or older
- Have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher with significant weight-related health conditions
- Have tried medically supervised weight loss programs for 1–2 years without long-term success
- Demonstrate psychological readiness and stability
Choosing surgery is a big decision—and you shouldn’t have to navigate it alone. At Broward Health, we help manage the details so you can focus on preparing for your care with confidence.
We’ll guide you through:
- Which procedure is the best fit for your health needs
- What to expect before, during and after surgery
- Insurance requirements specific to your plan
- Self-pay options available for under- or uninsured patients
Please note: Treatment timelines may vary depending on your insurance coverage. Our team will be with you every step of the way—from your first visit through recovery.
