Regain Your Health and Your Life

Recent studies indicate that obesity has reached epidemic levels in the United States. In fact, some 60 million Americans – about 30 percent of the adult population 20 years of age or older – are obese. Each year, approximately 300,000 overweight people die from obesity-related complications. Obesity is second only to smoking as a contributor to illness and premature death.

The Norton Healthcare Bariatric and Weight Management Program, with its staff of experienced doctors, nurses, dietitians and behavioral health specialists, is here to help you combat obesity and maintain a healthy weight. The program offers gastric band  education and surgical services, gastric bypass education and surgical services, nutritional education and personal and group support.

There is hope. Bariatric surgery can help many people lose weight. Some patients lose more than 70 percent of their excess weight and keep it off for 16 to 18 years.
