Sasse Surgical Center is one of the premier weight loss operation facilities in Nevada. Today, bariatric surgery is not just limited to bypass surgery and gastric sleeve surgery; many advanced procedures have evolved over the years. However, there is no such thing as one-size-fits-all.
At this facility, expert bariatric surgeons provide a guided and personalized approach to patients and help them overcome their apprehensions. A widespread library of additional resources helps people to make informed and educated decisions related to bariatric surgery.
With a BMI and RMR calculator, patients can learn about their potential health conditions and check their eligibility for the surgery. Patients can either take a quiz, watch an online webinar, or request an appointment with Dr. Kent C. Sasse.
While there are non-surgical options to lose weight, such as medically supervised treatments, surgery is the only option for patients who did not achieve good results.
