My choice is WLIAZ For many years I have tried and failed to lose weight so in desperation I decided to turn to weight loss surgery. After doing some research online I decided that Weight Loss Institute Of Arizona was right for me. I met with Dr. DeBarros and Dr. Orris at my initial consultation. They were both friendly, professional, answered all of my questions, and alleviated any concern I had about the procedure. I was very satisfied with the care that I received and am greatly looking forward to my procedure.

Almost perfect, but not quite. I was looking for a bariatric surgeon to help me with my weight-loss journey. I went to WLIA because I felt it was the best choice for me. My doctor, Dr. John DeBarros, has been great; but the reason I gave four stars and not five is because I was never informed of all of my options. I underwent the lap-band, but had to have it removed after 11 months due to complications from it. I became aware of all of my options the day of my surgery when I had the lap-band inserted. Not the right time to find out! Anyway, now I know the other options available to me and I'm trying to decide if I want to go further. The staff, nurses and all the doctors have been very good to me; but if anyone is considering weight-loss surgery, do all your research and ask questions, questions, questions. I know it's partly my fault for not having all the information, but I believe it's their job to help me with some of it, too, especially since that's what they do!

The Office staff and Drs are very helpful The Weight Loss Institute of AZ has had staff available to answer my questions and help me understand the details of the lap band procedure. The location in Glendale is convenient and the office staff always try to assist as needed. The procedure went well and weight loss has begun.

WLIA said yes! After researching the Lap-Band procedure for several years, I completed the entire pre-op process with a competitor who was not able to get me approved for the Lap-Band. So I tried to do the weight loss thing on my own YET AGAIN for almost a year. Then I saw a commercial for WLIA , and thought to give the process a try again, and all went so smooth, it was like I should have gone through WLIA all along. I am a couple months post surgery and so thankful for this life style change. WLIA said yes, when others did nothing.
