A Step to a Healthier Life

Obesity is a disease that can be treated. You have the opportunity to change your life for the better. We're a national leader in bariatric surgery, having performed more than 2,000 operations, including gastric banding. These procedures, when coupled with lifestyle changes and the encouragement of loved ones, can change your life for the better.

If you're reading this, we hope that means you have decided to take control of your life and make some changes to improve your health. Through this website, we'll provide you with more information on obesity and how it affects your entire family. We also offer links to solutions that don't require surgery if you don't feel ready to take that step.

If you are considering weight-loss surgery, the links to the right will better explain the different types of surgery available, introduce you to our team and answer any questions you may have. We know how obesity affects your life and the way you feel, and we are committed to providing you care at every step.

Weight-loss surgery is performed by physicians at the Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University and at Southern Surgical Associates. If you would like to to get more information on surgery, e-mail us at  WeightLoss@pcmh.com. If you're ready to schedule an initial consultation, please make an appointment with one of our physicians at the Brody Outpatient Center by calling 252-744-2018 or Southern Surgical Asociates by calling 252-758-2224.
