Bariatric Surgery Options

Advanced Bariatric & Surgical Specialists, with locations in both Victoria and Corpus Christi, Texas, offers weight loss surgery options to effectively treat obesity. Severe obesity is a disease that, in the past several years, has become more widespread and has grown to epidemic proportions. Dr. Craig Chang, FACS firmly believes that obesity is not caused by a character defect, or a simple lack of will power, rather it’s a medical condition that affects almost 20 million Americans and has become the greatest health care problem in the United States today. People with obesity are at a greater risk for co-morbid conditions such as:

  • Diabetes
  • High Blood Pressure
  • Sleep Apnea and
  • Heart Problems

Moreover, excess weight impacts your health, your self-esteem, and your relationships.
