Treatment Options

Bariatric Surgery
For some patients, the surgical option is preferred. This is a decision that must be determined by you and your doctor. If you are ready to make a lifelong difference in your weight management, consider your choices carefully, and if the surgical option is the one you choose. Lakeland can help. Our complete behavioral, medical, nutritional and surgical program features one of Michigan's most experienced surgical teams. 
Our team will accommodate any questions you may have. Our team is lead by Dr. Michael Schuhknecht. He is one of Michigan's most experienced bariatric surgeons, having performed procedures for over 10  years.
