Olathe Health System’s medical staff includes surgeons who specialize in surgical weight loss—known as bariatric surgery—to improve the health and well being of those who are severely overweight.  We offer expert, compassionate care, highly trained surgical teams and a variety of surgical options, including minimally invasive procedures that result in less postoperative pain, shorter hospital stays and fewer infections.

Bariatric surgery is reserved for those who have been unable to achieve long-term weight loss through diet and exercise. For many, it may offer hope for improved health, a longer lifespan and a better quality of life.

Bariatric surgery is a serious decision that requires careful consideration of pre- and post-operative requirements and a commitment by the patient to permanent lifestyle changes.
