Bariatric surgery is more commonly known as weight loss surgery. Our expert surgeons can determine whether you are a candidate for this surgery and help you understand the surgical options available for your individual situation. To achieve a successful outcome, weight loss surgery requires the patient to embrace permanent lifestyle changes and to commit to long-term follow up care. At The Surgical Clinic, our staff is here to help you understand the risks and benefits of this surgery and to answer any questions regarding your treatment options. To learn more, call our office (615) 329-7887, ext. 224, and/or e-mail dsimms@tsclinic.com, then attend one of our free "Obesity Surgery" seminars.
