Dr. Hollis performs a variety of weight loss surgeries, including the Laparoscopic Gastric Sleeve and the LAP-BAND Adjustable Gastric Banding System.

Being overweight is a struggle and here at BayChoice Bariatrics we understand that. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 44 million Americans are considered clinically obese. Since 1975, the number of obese Americans has risen from 47 percent to 66.3 percent. Studies have proven that an estimated $75 billion has been spent on obesity-attributable medical expenditures. These numbers are through the roof and put the obesity struggle more into perspective. It has been proven that weight-loss surgery improves Type II diabetes better than a low-calorie diet. It is stated that the short term weight loss by diet alone does not achieve the same improvements in diabetes as bariatric surgery does. Not only are you allowing yourself to live healthier, you feel better about yourself! Diabetes is not the only health consequences weight loss surgery helps. Obesity can cause an increased risk for cancer, hypertension, heart disease and asthma. Having the surgery can reduce these risks and get your life on the right track!
