Weight reduction surgery has been reported to improve quality of life and lessen associated diseases. Numerous studies have shown that bariatric surgery helps decrease or eliminate diabetes, hypertension, obstructive sleep apnea and high cholesterol. It also has been demonstrated to positively impact other areas, including gastroesophageal reflux disease, stress incontinence, cardiac function, infertility and osteoarthritis. Weight loss surgery might even help you reduce intake of certain medications. Most importantly, it can once again put you back in control of your life.

What establishes the Tennessee Weight Loss and Surgery Center as a leader in bariatric services in Knoxville and East Tennessee is its multidisciplinary approach utilizing the comprehensive resources of the University of Tennessee Medical Center.
