Dear Patient,

Capella Bariatric and Plastic Surgery is dedicated to the complete care of the severely obese. Our aim is to help the severely overweight achieve a healthy and fulfilling lifestyle. This is accomplished with our unique combination of bariatric and plastic surgery. The gastric procedure produces the necessary weight loss to minimize or eliminate the diseases usually associated with obesity. Plastic surgery following weight loss not only makes patients more comfortable but also dramatically increases self-esteem and self-confidence.

Our experience of over 9,000 operations, the most extensive in the country, has produced superb weight loss and excellent body contouring results with a very low level of complications. Capella Bariatric and Plastic Surgery has made many contributions to the treatment of morbid obesity and the management of the massive weight loss patient. Our work has been published in national and international medical journals and presented in medical forums around the world.
