Dr. Altaf uses the most recent Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) techniques in performing the most advanced Obesity Surgery procedures.
Surgery is the only known effective long term treatment for morbid obesity. It is the only method that produces consistent and sustainable weight loss. All of the above health problems caused by obesity can be cured or at least improved by obesity surgery. More importantly, it is a life-saving surgery as it reduces the risk of death from obesity by up to 64%. In general, the heavier the patient having surgery the greater is the benefit.
However, not all obese individuals need surgery. Our surgical clinic staff will determine whether surgery is the best weight loss method suitable for you.
The risks of obesity surgery are less than the risk of a person remaining morbidly obese. The choice of operation is based on matching a person to the operation that would be best for them.
