Weight Loss Surgery in North Carolina

Weight loss or Bariatric surgery refers to surgical procedures that help severely overweight or obese people lose a significant amount of weight to improve their quality of life and reduce weight related health problems.

Dr. Bovard specializes in providing LAP-BAND^® System and Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgeries to patients in Raleigh, Durham, and surrounding areas in North Carolina.

Why consider bariatric surgery?

Apart from the important and very difficult social and psychological issues that obese people face each day, being significantly overweight increases a person's risk of potentially life threatening weight-related diseases such as diabetes and hypertension. These diseases reduce quality of life, are expensive to treat, and significantly decrease life expectancy.

Bariatric surgery has proven to be the most effective method to help people who have been unsuccessful at losing weight using diet and exercise alone, to lose a significant amount of weight and maintain that loss.

Is bariatric surgery the right choice for you?

Bariatric is a major decision that will permanently alter your life.  Deciding to pursue a surgical solution for weight loss requires a commitment to making the changes in your life that bariatric surgery requires.  People who make these lifestyle changes achieve weight loss and the benefits that accompany it such as increased health, greater mobility, and improved self esteem and self confidence.

How to get started

The first step to making the decision about bariatric surgery is to learn as much about weight loss surgery as possible.  To help you do this, Bovard Bariatric Center provides regular weight surgery seminars where you can learn more about weight loss surgery, meet our team, ask questions, and take the first steps toward weight loss if you decide this option is right for you.
