WHY GRIFFIN HEALTH

A Program Designed Around You — NOT Just Surgery

At Griffin Health, bariatric surgery is not a one day event. It’s a carefully guided process focused on your physical health, emotional wellbeing, and long-term success. Our program offers:

• Board certified bariatric surgeons with extensive experience
• Minimally invasive surgical techniques
• Individualized pre and post surgery support
• Nutrition, behavioral health, and fitness guidance
• Ongoing support groups and education

Griffin Health is nationally recognized for its patient centered approach to care and is accredited for quality and safety in bariatric surgery.

IS BARIATRIC SURGERY RIGHT FOR ME?

Bariatric surgery may be appropriate for you if:

• Are 18 years of age or older

• You have a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or higher, or have a BMI of 35 or higher with one or more weight related health conditions, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or sleep apnea

• Have made previous attempts to lose weight without long-term success

A consultation with our bariatric team will help determine whether surgery — and which option — is right for you.
