Weight: It says under your note that you are pregnant? If so, bariatric surgery is not an option until after delivery. If you are not, then yes, most patients benefit from bariatric surgery if candidates. Are you on a low-carb diet? Consult with us to see if you are a candidate for bariatric surgery.
