Demographics

Candidates for a primary weight loss procedure at Summa Health range in ages from 17 to 70.
These are patients with morbid obesity, with or without comorbid diseases such as type 2 diabetes,
obstructive sleep apnea, hypertension and gastroesophageal reflux disease. The typical patient
has usually tried many different approaches to weight loss but has been unsuccessful in sustaining
weight loss. In many cases, patients also struggle with underlying issues such as binge eating,
emotional eating or other behavioral health conditions which have contributed to their obesity.
