Adult Bariatric Specialty Clinic

Provides Surgical Support options for adults with obesity.

This clinic provides surgical interventions for weight management and improving health. Support is provided to individuals with obesity who require complex surgical intervention.

The initial clinic assessment determines the patient’s specific barriers to managing their weight. Developing an individualized care plan with the patient may include:

  • behaviour modification
  • counseling for nutrition, physical activity, and mental health
  • drug treatment and / or bariatric surgery (surgical treatment for obesity)
  • coordinating care and transitioning the patient back to their family physician with recommendations from the clinic
