We get many requests
for resources or other information regarding obesity treatment and
especially bariatric surgery. Because we don't accept any advertising
or specifically recommend programs, procedures or practices, it can be
frustrating trying to get information, especially if you are new to this process.
There are several informational
websites we wholeheartedly recommend that may assist you in locating a qualified bariatric
surgeon or to learn more about certain procedures. Those sites are:
This is the site for the
American Society For Bariatric Surgery and contains a listing of its members by state/country. It may help you
locate a surgeon or program in your general geographic area.
This site has a listing of
surgeons, also by geography and additional information that may assist you. It has been provided by Ethicon Endo-Surgery, Inc., a leading manufacturer of medical devices with specific application to bariatric surgery.
This is the
corporate site for Inamed Corporation, the manufacturer of the BioEnterics LapBand SystemŽ. It has excellent information available if you are considering or investigating the adjustable
banding technology.
This is the official site
of the American Obesity Association, the leading advocacy organization in the nation addressing important
health and policy issues for people suffering with obesity and morbid obesity. This site has wonderful
information and links on many topics, including weight loss surgery, that may be of interest and importance.
