Sacramento Bariatric Medical Associates was founded in 2003 by Dr. Laura Machado to provide a comprehensive bariatric surgical program for the Northern California region. Our program offers state-of-the-art bariatric surgery including gastric bypass and laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (lap band). The following information will introduce our surgeons and care providers, allow you to calculate your body mass index with our BMI calculator, and learn more about life after obesity surgery. Morbid obesity is a serious life-threatening disease. The current cure for obesity is bariatric surgery.
Sacramento Bariatric is an ASBS Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence (COE). We are also major contributors to the NIH Longitudinal Assessment of Bariatric Surgery (LABS) project, an obesity research project of national importance. |
