Many women living with weight problems feel isolated and alone.
At the Little Company of Mary Bariatric Surgery Center, we're
dedicated to changing that. We offer non-surgical support and
counseling, as well as surgical options for women who are more than
100 pounds overweight.
Full Range of Non-Surgical
Solutions
Every woman loses weight differently, so we
offer a number of options to help her reach her goals. Our
psychologists will work to determine causes for possible eating
conditions and decide what actions or medications can help.
Dietitians will address eating habits and show women how to improve
their grocery shopping. Plus our staff of experienced physicians
including internist, Dr. Kidanu J. Birhanu, are trained on issues
including pre/post menopausal and postsurgical weight management as
well as weight-related conditions such as diabetes, thyroid
problems, sleep apnea and more. So, no matter where a woman is in
her life, we're ready to help her live it in a healthier
way.

Excellence
Under the guidance of Dr. Gerald Cahill,
medical director of the Midwest Bariatric Institute, our center has
performed more than 900 successful weight-loss surgeries to date.
And, we've been rated an American Society of Bariatric Surgery

The Latest Minimally Invasive

represent the latest advancements in bariatric
surgery.
