Sterling Hospital offers comprehensive bariatric surgery services for the treatment of obesity and related metabolic disorders.

Bariatric surgery is a specialized field that focuses on surgical interventions to support significant weight loss in individuals struggling with obesity, especially when lifestyle modifications alone have not been successful. Sterling Hospitals is home to a skilled team of bariatric surgeons, dietitians, psychologists, and fitness specialists who work together to provide holistic, long-term care tailored to each patient’s needs.

Obesity is a complex, chronic disease that increases the risk of multiple health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, obstructive sleep apnea, joint problems, and certain cancers. Bariatric surgery not only supports weight loss but also significantly improves or resolves many obesity-related conditions.

Common Conditions Treated:

Bariatric surgery at Sterling Hospitals helps manage or resolve the following conditions:

• Morbid Obesity (BMI ≥ 40 or BMI ≥ 35 with co-morbidities)
• Type 2 Diabetes
• Hypertension
• Obstructive Sleep Apnea
• Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)
• Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
• Joint-related problems due to excessive weight

Signs You May Be a Candidate for Bariatric Surgery:

• Struggling with severe obesity for several years
• BMI over 40, or over 35 with health complications
• Unsuccessful long-term weight loss with lifestyle changes
• Willingness to commit to long-term lifestyle and dietary changes

If you identify with any of these, it is important to consult a specialist to evaluate your eligibility for bariatric surgery.
