"Most patients who are truly conscientious, will have made great efforts to lose weight in the past without a lot of reward. Now, they've made a great effort but they get the reward."
Thomas Stellato, MD
Metamorphosis
For morbidly obese individuals -- when all other dieting attempts have failed -- gastric bypass surgery offers hope. A way to conquer obesity that is the most effective long-term solution, with a success rate near 85%. The results are quite dramatic. Patients can lose up to 100 pounds in the first year. More importantly, they can keep that weight off.
This extraordinary metamorphosis has been experienced by numerous patients who have significantly improved their health and quality of life by participating in University Hospitals’ Bariatric Surgery program.
This section of our website is dedicated to these individuals who have sought to end the sustained discomfort and health problems they’ve endured throughout their adult lives as a result of their excessive weight. Individuals who now take pleasure from life in a way they previously thought would never be possible.
