Northwest Specialty Hospital’s Expert Staff Is Committed To Your Weight Loss Success

At Northwest Specialty Hospital we are dedicated to your weight loss success far beyond the operating room. We first meet with you to make sure you are a good candidate for weight loss surgery. Most people who qualify for weight loss surgery in North Idaho have a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or more, which generally translates to about 100 pounds of excess weight for men and 80 pounds for women. Surgery is sometimes recommended for people with a BMI lower than 40. Weight loss surgery success requires that patients are dedicated to a positive outcome, and willing to follow a specific diet and exercise routine.

The most common type of weight loss surgery in North Idaho reduces the amount the stomach can hold. Weight loss surgery results in rapid weight loss for 18 to 24 months after surgery. Patients who complete weight loss surgery find their high blood pressure, cholesterol, heart disease, sleep apnea, and diabetes may be greatly diminished.
