The staff of the Southern Oregon Center for Obesity Surgery understand the challenges morbidly obese people face – and they can help you.

 Dr. Raul Mirande, FACS, medical director of Southern Oregon Center for Obesity Surgery, has completed more than 500 bariatric surgical patients since 2000. He specializes in laparoscopic gastric bypass and gastric banding to help patients achieve safe, long-term weight loss.

 More information about the procedures is in our Health Library.

 Overall, bariatric surgery is safe and effective, but surgery in any form has inherent risks. These procedures can result in complications. Candidates for surgery must have realistic goals regarding outcomes and fully understand the level of commitment required.
