For many people who have struggled with obesity, a consistent regimen of diet and exercise is simply not an effective means of weight loss. Weight loss surgery, also called bariatric surgery, may be necessary to better regulate and restrict the body’s normal digestive processes.

Patient Success Stories - Marci S.

I chose bariatric surgery because I no longer wanted to miss out on the life I wanted to live. All I had to do was ask and help was delivered. The BayCare team didn’t just treat my obesity, they partnered with me to take on the full challenge of changing my life and gave me tools to set me up for long term success.

Patient Success Stories - Jennifer Y.

Weight loss surgery saved my life. I no longer take any medications, and only need oxygen with heavy exercise. Food does not control me anymore. I'm so much happier and active. My goals for the future is to maintain a healthy life balance, not just physically but mentally, and for someone to find courage and hope in my story.
Surgery Type: Sleeve Gastrectomy | Starting weight: 243 lbs | Current weight: 137 lbs

Patient Success Stories - Kenneth G.

Less than a year after surgery I was off my blood pressure medication and no longer required my sleep apnea machine. The greatest moments for me have not been on the scale but have been all the non-scale victories. I can go to a theme park and ride a ride with my children, sit at a booth in a restaurant, go into any store and buy something off the rack, and best of all, enjoy daily activities with my family.

Patient Success Stories - Karen B.

Since weight loss surgery, I can do so much. I can walk 5 miles, I can run after my grandkids and play with them, which is one of the main reasons I had surgery. My goal for the future is to stay happy and healthy while maintaining my weight loss to enjoy the new me and the life that is ahead.

Patient Success Stories - Yalietza M.

Having family made carving out time for weight loss very difficult. I wanted to be able to play with my daughters without having breathing issues. My life has changed drastically! I have more confidence, my marriage has improved, and so has my quality of life. I was able to fit in a roller coaster and finally able to go skydiving!
