Severe morbid obesity affects the body's mechanical, metabolic and physiologic functions. These comorbidities affect every organ in the body and can result in serious illness, including:

  • Diabetes
  • Essential hypertension
  • Gastroesophageal reflux disease
  • Obstructive sleep apnea
  • Respiratory insufficiency
  • High cholesterol
  • Arthritic symptoms of weight-bearing joints

At the Wellington Surgical Weight Reduction Center, we provide a comprehensive approach to morbid obesity. Using advanced techniques, we specialize in:

  • Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery
