Sutter Medical Center of Santa Rosa in conjunction with Healthy STEPs Weight Loss Center is pleased to announce the arrival of Laparoscopic Weight Loss Surgery to Sonoma County.

This comprehensive approach, also known as Bariatric Surgery, offers the severely obese patient the benefits of safe and effective weight loss, in addition to effective alleviation of such obesity-related diseases as Type II Diabetes Mellitus, obstructive sleep apnea, and osteoarthritis. Dr. David C. Elliott exclusively performs the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery, utilizing advanced laparoscopic techniques to minimize patient discomfort, disability, and recuperation time.

In addition to the surgery itself, the Healthy STEPs Weight Loss Program includes intensive preoperative education and nutritional counseling, lifetime access to a local Obesity Support Group, and long-term follow-up by the surgical and dietitian team.

For more information about this effective approach for achieving long-term weight loss, please call Healthy STEPs Weight Loss Center at (707) 577-7800.
