Weight Loss Surgery

We know traditional weight loss methods are not always effective for some seriously obese people. For these patients, surgical weight loss may be an option. This surgery, referred to as bariatric surgery or gastric bypass surgery, promotes weight loss by restricting food intake and/or interrupting digestive processes.

Weight Management Clinic provides evaluation and referral for this surgery. We work closely with those Billings surgeons who perform bariatric surgery, and our clinic provides the pre- and post-operative care and support to ensure your long-term success and health. Each month, a free informational seminar is held and is open to the public. Ask our staff for more information, call 248-4580.
