  • Need some support to reveal the healthiest you this year? Lakeland Regional Health’s Institute for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery and Medicine can help.
  • “Some of the little changes that we do with bariatric surgery help patients get back energy so they can spend more time with their family and children, and less time in the hospital since their diabetes, blood pressure, and other weight-related diseases have improved,” says Dr. Sanjiv Gray, Bariatric Surgeon at Lakeland Regional Health.
  • Interested? See the results for yourself with testimonies from LRH bariatric surgery patients Hayley (pictured below) and Alan.
