Weight Loss Surgery


Mission Regional Medical Center has a continuing commitment to your health.

A new service to Mission Regional Medical Center, weight loss surgery adds another option for people who struggle with weight loss.

Obesity is a serious and rising health epidemic in our country.  In the Rio Grande Valley alone, 1/3 of the population suffers from obesity and its debilitating effects on health. Obesity is the leading preventable cause of death worldwide.

There are various classifications of obesity. If you have a BMI greater than 30, you are obese.  This can increase your risk of developing diseases such as diabetes, hypertension and certain types of cancers.

When dieting and exercise are not enough to reach your healthy weight, weight loss surgery may be the solution.  If you or a loved one is struggling to loose weight and are ready to make a positive change, know that MRMC is here to help you achieve weight loss success.
