Surgical Weight Loss in Iowa

Iowa Weight Loss Specialists understands that weight loss is a journey, and for many, surgical weight loss is a powerful and effective solution. Our team offers safe, compassionate care through bariatric surgery, helping patients achieve lasting results and improved health.

What Is Surgical Weight Loss?

Surgical weight loss, also known as bariatric surgery, involves procedures that support long-term weight loss by limiting food intake and reducing hunger. The procedure we offer is the gastric sleeve surgery, where about 75% of the stomach is removed, leaving a smaller, sleeve-shaped stomach.

This minimally invasive surgery helps our patients' stomachs feel full sooner, eat less, and adopt healthier eating habits, making it easier to lose weight and keep it off.
