Bariatric surgery, also called weight loss surgery, can deliver life-changing and even life-saving results. But it’s not a decision to make lightly. Like every procedure, bariatric surgery poses certain risks. And your success is dependent on your readiness, your commitment, and your access to support before, during and after the surgery. That’s why it’s important to compare programs, weigh your options, and choose a team you can trust.

Our approach at El Camino Hospital is fully integrated and collaborative. Our team is made up of highly trained surgeons, nurses, nutritionists and physical therapists who are all experts in treating weight loss surgery patients. They work closely together to offer safe, comfortable, seamless care, with a full range of proven treatment options.

What’s more, we offer unmatched support at every stage of the process, so you have the information, counseling and tools you need to achieve and maintain dramatic, permanent weight loss.
