Riverside

Pacific Bariatric is a leading bariatric surgery center with over 15,000 surgeries performed. Our Riverside seminar gives prospective patients living in the Riverside area the opportunity to meet our surgeons and ask them questions. This is not a marketing seminar. This is hosted by our doctors so that you can ask them all of your questions. We have patients all over Southern California, including Riverside, Redlands, San Bernardino, Ontario, Corona and Fontana. Our surgeons are leading experts in Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery, LAP-BAND® surgery, REALIZE band surgery and gastric sleeve surgery.

 

Long-term studies show that bariatric surgery causes significant long-term loss of weight, recovery from diabetes, improvement in cardiovascular risk factors, and a reduction in mortality of 23% from 40%. The U.S. National Institutes of Health recommends bariatric surgery for obese people with a body mass index (BMI) of at least 40, and for people with BMI 35 and serious coexisting medical conditions such as diabetes. However, research is emerging that suggests bariatric surgery could be appropriate for those with a BMI of 35 to 40 with no comorbidities or a BMI of 30 to 35 with significant comorbidities. If you live in the greater Riverside area and would like to learn more about bariatric surgery from leading surgeons we invite you to join us at our next Riverside bariatric surgery seminar.
