In the Spotlight
Weight-Loss Surgery Center

Currently, one in three adults in the United States is overweight. Obesity creates serious health risks including high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, stroke and some forms of cancer. Our Weight-Loss Surgery Center is led by well-known bariatric surgeon Jorge L. Sosa, M.D. Dr. Sosa has performed more than 1,800 gastric bypass procedures, which he does through a laparoscope, thus improving recovery time and leaving much smaller scars.

Free information sessions about bariatric surgery are offered at Jackson North Medical Center the first Thursday of every month at 6:30 p.m. For more information on the program, click here or call 1-866-931-TRIM.
