For Patients from La Jolla, North County, and throughout San Diego – Weight Loss Surgery
The physicians at Surgical Associates of La Jolla understand that morbid obesity is not merely a matter of being overweight. In addition to the social and economic impact of obesity, many other health problems – some potentially fatal – often develop as a result of obesity. These include diabetes, sleep apnea, arthritis, cancer, and an increased risk of heart disease. For patients who suffer from obesity, bariatric (weight loss) surgery performed at our La Jolla practice may be the best chance of improving the quality, and perhaps the quantity of life itself!. Please contact our practice today to schedule a consultation and learn more about weight loss surgery.
