The physicians and staff at Methodist Hospital are dedicated to helping people who are considering surgical weight loss as a means to help them reclaim their life, their health and their well-being. Through our approach to the treatment of obesity, we are completely committed to quality and excellence, with a focus on the safety, comfort and well-being of our patients. We place an emphasis on educating our patients – to help them determine if surgery is the best option for them and, if it is, to assist them in making their procedure as successful as possible.
