Receive your best bariatrics support at The Hernried Center
At The Hernried Center, we believe that bariatric surgery must be accompanied by a comprehensive support system – only then can patients achieve safe and permanent weight loss.
Although The Hernried Center is a non-surgery center, we help patients prepare for bariatric surgery, and support weight loss following the procedure. Successful weight loss depends not just on surgery, but also on changing behaviors and active management after gastric bypass, sleeve or adjustable band.
