Obesity increases other health risks
Being obese increases your chances of developing heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and certain cancers. Obesity can also impact your sleep and cause arthritis and back pain. Your mental well-being can also pay a price. Low self-esteem and clinical depression have been linked to how people feel about their weight and quality of life. Act now and take the next step to a healthier and happier life.
Is surgery right for me?
Weight-loss surgery may be an option for you if you:
- Are 100 pounds over ideal weight
- Have a body mass index (BMI) over 40
- Have a BMI over 35 and other conditions such as high blood pressure, sleep apnea, heart disease or diabetes
- Failed at other weight-loss programs
- Are committed to making the necessary behavioral changes after surgery to keep the weight off
Keeping You Safe
At GW Hospital, your safety and health are our top priority. That’s why we put safety protocols in place for in-office visits, including enhanced disinfection of high-traffic areas, physical distancing in the lobby and waiting areas, and required masking of all patients, visitors and staff at all times. The hospital regularly cares for patients with highly infectious disease and we continue to follow best practice guidelines to identify, isolate and care for COVID-19 patients, as well as other patients with potentially infectious disease.
