Hawaii Center for Metabolic & Bariatric Surgery

The Hawaii Center for Metabolic & Bariatric Surgery, located at 640 Ulukahiki Street in Kailua, Hawaii, is a leading institution specializing in the treatment of obesity and related health issues. With a team of skilled professionals, including bariatric surgeon Dr. Steven Fowler, the center offers a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to weight management for morbidly obese patients. Bariatric surgery, which modifies the stomach or intestines to restrict food intake or nutrient absorption, is recommended for patients who are unable to lose weight through other methods. The center offers three types of minimally invasive surgical procedures, including gastric bypass, gastric sleeve, and duodenal switch. However, weight loss surgery is not a guarantee of success and requires patients to make lifestyle changes. The center provides 12 months of follow-up care, including counseling, nutrition guidance, fitness classes, and support groups to help patients sustain their weight loss.
