At Inova Fairfax Hospital, specially trained surgeons perform bariatric (obesity) surgery that has been proven effective at keeping weight off when the patient complies with post-surgical care instructions. Patients who choose surgery have access to dietitians, psychiatrists and psychologists, and nurses with special expertise in the treatment of severely obese patients. Our facilities are specially designed to make severely overweight patients comfortable so they do not feel out of place or self-conscious.
