We’ve enlisted specialists in many areas for the bariatric surgical perspective, nutrition, metabolism, movement (that’s exercise that’s not a four-letter word), plastic surgery, behavior modification, and post-op support. These great folks are our Medical Advisory Team. Dr. Lloyd H. Stegemann, MD | | | 
| Although Dr. Stegemann has been trained extensively in all forms of general surgery and feels comfortable performing most operations, his main interest is weight loss surgery. He was drawn to wls not only because of the technical demands, but also because of the profound impact this surgery has on the life of his patients. Every time he sees a patient back in the office or goes to a gastric bypass support group meeting and hears the incredible stories of how people are once again enjoying their lives and living healthier, it reaffirms why he loves weight loss surgery. | _____________Dr. Jacqueline Jacques, ND | |
