The Bariatric Surgery Program at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center offers a team approach to weight loss (bariatric) surgery for patients in New Hampshire, Vermont, and greater Northern New England.

The bariatric surgeons, nurse practitioner, and dietitians evaluate patients who are thinking about weight loss surgery, and also may consult with other specialists to make sure that the patient's health is optimally managed prior to surgery to make the surgery as safe as possible.

Types of weight loss surgery currently available at DHMC include gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy and adjustable gastric banding.

Check to see if you are a candidate for bariatric surgery.

"I wanted to have the surgery because someday I hope to have grandchildren, and to be able to keep up with them, to be able to walk upstairs and breathe—and feel good about myself."
