Our team goes far beyond surgery to provide a life-changing program that includes nutritional guidance, support groups, and coordination of counseling services. Our experienced, board-certified surgeons specialize in the surgical treatment of clinically obese patients. We offer laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass, Lap Band, and Sleeve Gastrectomy.

Our clinical team includes Dr. Stewart Rendon and Dr. Warren Peters, a registered dietitian, registered nurse, exercise physiologist, behaviorist and insurance specialist. By choosing to have surgery at the LLUHSH Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Program, you are selecting a comprehensive program that is specifically tailored to meet your individual needs. We believe in educating patients to make the lifestyle changes required for successful weight loss and we are committed to providing the support needed to lose the weight and keep it off.
