Bariatric surgery has been proven to be the most effective and long-lasting way to combat obesity by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Overweight people become resistant to weight loss due to hormones that regulate fat. Bariatric/Metabolic surgery effectively treats people who are resistant to commercial weight loss, diet, and exercise. Dr. Cribbins enjoys the "Art of Bariatrics" because weight loss surgery restores health and transforms life.
