Obesity is one of our nation's largest health problems. Many Americans don't take the time to diet or exercise and put themselves at serious health risks. There are multiple forms of weight loss surgery but the two most common surgeries are LAP-BAND and gastric bypass surgery. LAP-BAND does not involve a permanent change to your gastrointestinal system. It involves implanting a silicone ring around the upper part of the stomach. This ring decreases the size of the stomach and decreases a person's appetite in order to help them lose weight. The ring can be inflated or deflated with a saline solution in order to control the rate at which a person loses weight. Gastric bypass is a similar form of surgery that decreases the size of the stomach. The process is permanent and often produces the desired results faster than LAP-BAND. Dr. Holup will be able to give you the best advice on which one of the many Bariatric surgeries are best for you.

Some of the health conditions related with obesity include:

- Type 2 Diabetes
- High Blood pressure or Heart Disease
- Osteoarthritis
