Morbid obesity affects the health and well being of millions of Americans. But help is available.
The Carondelet Surgical Weight Loss Program offers a comprehensive medical program in Tucson, Arizona. Our surgeons Monte Schwartz, MD and Jeffrey Monash, MD, both belong to the American College of Surgery and the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery.  They, along with our friendly team of nurses, nutritionists, counselors, and specialists in rehabilitation and fitness treat each patient in a caring, non-judgmental manner.
 
If you are morbidly obese and diets haven’t helped, you may be a candidate for laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery. We use the most advanced, minimally invasive surgical techniques. Or you might find the LapBand® System (an adjustable gastric banding surgical treatment) is right for you. Whichever form of bariatric surgery you choose, our medical program will provide you with the treatment, guidance, and support you need to make a life-long change.
