Bariatric surgery is a medical term for surgical procedures used to manage obesity and obesity-related conditions. Long term weight loss with bariatric surgery may be achieved through alteration of gut hormones, physical reduction of stomach size, reduction of nutrient absorption, or a combination of these. Bariatric surgeons specialize in the surgical treatment of obesity.
Happily married, Dr. VanderWel and his wife love the Pacific Northwest and all the outdoor adventures it affords. When he is not chasing after his two young children, he enjoys biking, hiking, camping, and photography.
