Bariatric Surgery California

Sometimes dieting and exercising does not help fight obesity. If you've tried diets and exercises to no avail, do not worry--bariatric surgery is right for you. Dr. Robert McKeen MD is located at South Bay Bariatrics in California and has performed over 4000 surgeries and has over 10 years of experience in bariatric surgery.

Bariatric surgery attempts to correct and minimize obesity. Obesity is a dangerous problem because of the other complications that it can give birth to. Obese patients often have complications of the respiratory system, heart failure, diabetes, high blood pressure, and kidney or liver problems. All these problems are life threatening and have claimed the lives of more people than any other disease. Obesity can also lead to self esteem problems and a diminished social life. When diets and exercise fail to decrease one's weight, it lowers their self esteem even further. Surgeons have employed bariatric surgery to treat obese patients who have difficulty losing weight. Bariatric surgery works to help patients lose weight with a minimally invasive procedure.

Dr. McKeen also treats:
- Hypertension
- Degenerative Joint Disease
- GERD
- Diabetes
- Urinary Stress Incontinence
- Sleep Apnea
- Depression
- Arthritis
- Hypercholesterolemia
- Back pain
