Millions of Americans struggle with health issues associated with being dangerously overweight, including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, heart disease, stroke and cancer. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 30 percent of American adults – 60 million people – are obese. The rate among young people, under age 20, has tripled since 1980. But there is help. In cases where certain lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise have been unsuccessful, surgical weight control may be an option.Saint Mary’s Hospital provides the highest quality care for surgical weight control patients as well as the experience and expertise of our surgeons Dr. A. Aziz Richi, and Dr. Shady A. Macaron who perform both roux-en-y gastric bypass surgery and adjustable gastric banding procedures using minimally-invasive techniques.
