Find Bariatric Surgeon in Logan, UT

A bariatric surgeon is a physician who specializes in surgical procedures designed to help patients with severe obesity achieve significant, lasting weight loss. These highly trained specialists perform metabolic and weight loss surgeries including gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, adjustable gastric banding (lap-band), duodenal switch, and revision procedures. Bariatric surgeons work within comprehensive weight loss programs that include pre-surgical evaluation, nutritional counseling, psychological assessment, and long-term follow-up care. Beyond weight loss, bariatric surgery often leads to dramatic improvements or complete resolution of obesity-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, hypertension, and heart disease. Bariatric surgeons typically complete fellowship training in minimally invasive surgery, bariatric surgery, or advanced laparoscopic surgery following their general surgery residency.
