If you think you can lose weight reasonably, then it is best to achieve weight loss first and get to a stable weight for a period of at least a month.

If your weight is stable and you have attempted weight loss without success, Dr. Shermak will meet with you to see what can be achieved safely with surgery. Many women are stalled, and Dr. Shermak knows surgery may kickstart weight loss and a healthier lifestyle.
