Weight Control


FREE DISCUSSION: A Gentle Surgical Approach to Obesity

Join Saint Francis Hospital and Constantine Frantzides, MD, PhD, FACS, Professor of Surgery at Northwestern University, to discuss new, minimally invasive techniques for treating obesity.

Dr. Frantzides is a pioneer in minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques and procedures for weight loss.

Obesity is a chronic condition that can cause serious medical complications:

* Heart Disease
* Diabetes
* Stroke
* Gallbladder Disease
* Osteoarthritis

Minimally invasive approaches to weight loss surgery may result in less pain, minimal scarring, shorter recovery times, and shorter hospitalizations when compared to other types of obesity surgeries.
