Do I Qualify for Weight Loss Surgery?
Weight loss surgery may be an option for you if you have a body mass index (BMI) of 40 kg/m2 (approximately 100 pounds overweight) or less than 35 kg/ m2 with another condition, and a history of trying to lose weight.
Our Services
We offer several types of weight loss procedures. A Norton Weight Management Services physician can find the solution that’s best for you.
Laparoscopic and open weight loss surgery options
Nonsurgical procedure
I Want to Lose Weight but Prefer a Nonsurgical Approach. What Can I Do?
If you’re not a candidate for bariatric surgery or intragastric balloon placement, or you prefer a nonsurgical approach, we offer the Medical Weight Management program.
