Obesity has become the #1 public health problem in our country today – more than half of Americans are overweight and roughly 12 million Americans suffer from severe obesity. Obesity is a major cause of premature death and many other medical conditions, including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and sleep apnea.

At Covenant Health System, we are committed to serving weight-loss surgery patients in Lubbock, West Texas, and New Mexico, through the continuum of care. Covenant's partnership with Dr. David Syn and the Advanced Bariatric Surgery Center offers the most comprehensive coverage for those considering gastric bypass.
