About Us

At North Mississippi Medical Center, we understand that having weight loss surgery is one of the biggest decisions a person can make.

Not only will it mean undergoing surgery, but it also requires dedication to a new eating lifestyle.

Because this is a big investment in your health, you must commit to the treatment plan and follow-up. Our extensive weight loss surgery experience enables us to give you the proper education before, during and after surgery to make your surgery successful. Together, we will work toward one common goal, which is improving the quality of your health and life through weight loss.
