               Our Comprehensive Program

At Atlanta Bariatrics we are dedicated to providing the highest quality of surgical weight loss management in a caring and compassionate setting.  You will have the time to explore the options best for you and make a carefully considered, informed decision.  As a result of our extensive bariatric experience, we are able to provide multiple surgical options to our patients, including laparoscopic gastric bypass and LAP-BAND.  However, we believe that surgery is only one part of a comprehensive plan to help you lose weight and become healthier.  That is why our expert, friendly staff offers regular support groups, personal attention from a Registered Dietician, advice and availability of exercise classes, informative seminars and more.

Our practice is a Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence.
