Welcome

Congratulations on your decision to learn more about weight loss surgery. Dr. Douglas Krahn, his staff, and St. Bernardine Medical Center would like to extend a warm welcome to you.

You have probably heard a little about our Program and are interested in finding out more about what we have to offer. Morbid obesity is a debilitating disease that, by definition, threatens the well being of those suffering form it. Dr. Krahn, in conjunction with St. Bernardine Medical Center has developed a multidisciplinary Program that has been created to help alleviate this problem. If you take a close look at our Program, you will find that it is unique from all others in its design and scope of treatment.

Our program is distinctive. We offer both pre-operative education as well as post-operative education. Not only will we guide you through the steps necessary to have the surgery, but also we will also train you in the tools fundamental to success after surgery. Nutrition consultations, along with nutritional supplements, support group meetings, and psychological consultations, are among some of the many resources to which our patients have access.

We also feel our Program is unique in that Dr. Krahn’s extensive training and working along side Dr. Marema, founder of U.S. Bariatric, has provided him with a very unique experience.  On this website you will find information regarding Bariatric surgery, and details on how to proceed with this very important and life altering treatment for a deadly disease. Although our staff is composed of many departments and people who perform specific functions, all of us work diligently to function as a team in order to meet the various needs of our patients actively seeking to reclaim healthy lives for themselves.

 We are delighted that you are giving us the opportunity to let you know about our Program and we look forward to working with you.
