If you struggle with your weight, you’re not alone. Clark
Memorial Hospital has two ways to help you make progress toward a
healthier, happier you.
Bariatric Program
If you are 100 pounds or more over your ideal
weight, many of life’s simple joys remain stubbornly out
of reach… even simple activities like tying a child’s shoe,
slipping into a movie seat or getting behind the wheel of a car
can be difficult at best. Unfortunately conditions like
hypertension, diabetes, and heart disease are much more likely
when you are affected with the disease of morbid obesity.
Clark Memorial Hospital’s Bariatric Program offers a New Way
Forward.
Our comprehensive program includes:
- A thorough evaluation with the surgeon and pre-operative
testing
- A minimally invasive surgical procedure called LAP-BAND®
- Follow-up and support from our whole team each step of the
way, including:
- Helping you change your eating habits
- Finding a realistic level of exercise
- Breaking through the psychological barriers that hinder
significant weight loss
To learn more about our
bariatric program, call Carolyn McKee, Bariatric Coordinator at
(812) 283-2087 or e-mail her at carolyn.mckee@clarkmemorial.org.

patients with "before" and "after" photos.
