Is weight loss surgery the right next step?

Bariatric surgery may be worth con­sid­er­ing when diet, exer­cise, and med­ica­tion haven’t led to last­ing results. Duly’s bariatric sur­geons per­form the full range of weight loss pro­ce­dures, includ­ing revi­sions for patients who’ve had surgery before. Pro­ce­dures are per­formed using min­i­mal­ly inva­sive and robot­ic tech­niques for small­er inci­sions and faster recov­ery. For many patients, surgery can help improve con­di­tions such as type 2 dia­betes, high blood pres­sure, and sleep apnea.
