Bariatric Services
At Poplar Bluff Regional Medical Center, we understand how challenging weight loss can be. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than one third of American adults are morbidly obese, increasing their risk for heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and certain cancers, and keeping them from an active and happy life.
We also know that it's never too late to take control. Our weight loss services providers offer proven solutions and compassionate support when traditional options haven't worked. Like with other men and women we have helped, the surgeons and bariatric (weight loss) support team are here to help you enjoy your own life-changing success through weight loss surgery.
Personalized Care to Help You Feel and Live Your Best
Weight loss services include a specially trained team of professionals who will work closely with you and your primary care physician to create a personalized weight loss plan beyond surgical options that promotes your physical and emotional well-being.
Of course, support doesn't end when your surgical procedure does. From pre- to post-op and after, the bariatric providers will be with you throughout your weight loss journey. Weight loss surgery is a lifelong commitment, and you can find peace of mind knowing that follow-up care is close to home. Poplar Bluff Regional Medical Center offers education and support to encourage and empower you through every step of your journey, not just the surgery itself.
If you're struggling with obesity, and repeated dieting and exercise just haven't worked, bariatric surgery may be the solution for you. In fact, when combined with a treatment plan, a weight loss procedure is the most effective option to combat severe obesity and maintain long-term weight loss, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Weight loss is a journey, and we're here to help you every step of the way. Many patients experience more than just long-term weight reduction from a weight loss procedure—they experience notable improvement in their health. Through methods, including dietary counseling, behavior modification, exercise and bariatric surgery, we do more than help reduce weight. We help change lives.
