The Benefits of Bariatric Surgery
The South Carolina Obesity Surgery Center at Lexington Medical Center is helping people lose more weight than was once thought possible.
Bariatric surgery typically results in 60 percent excess weight loss within the first eight months. Bariatric surgery can drastically increase energy levels and help control weight-aggravated conditions such as heart disease, high cholesterol, degenerative arthritis and sleep apnea. Significant weight loss is also likely to alleviate a patient’s need for insulin and blood pressure medications.
The Most Experienced Bariatric Surgeons in South Carolina
Dr. Jim Givens, Dr. Glen Strickland and Dr. Marc Antonetti are board-certified bariatric surgeons who have performed more surgeries than any other practice in the state. The SC Obesity Surgery Center is regarded as one of the top ten programs in the country.
