There are many people involved in helping our patients get through the surgical weight loss journey — before, during and after surgery. This is a list of some of those involved. There are many others who work “behind the scenes” to aid in the success of this program and we express our gratitude to all!

 

If you or someone you love is morbidly obese, please call us at (828) 327-9178 to get a full assessment of your condition. Weight loss surgery may be an option for you.
