These procedures are generally considered for adults with a BMI of about 30 to 40 who have tried other methods. Results depend on long-term changes in eating and activity, so every procedure is paired with ongoing follow-up and guidance.
Dr. Forohar will review your health history, goals, and any prior surgery at a consultation and help you decide which approach, if any, makes sense.
