Bariatric Surgery in Mill Valley, CA

Bariatric care for Mill Valley residents

Southern Marin has San Francisco medicine essentially next door, so a Mill Valley patient choosing Napa is making a deliberate decision. The reasons we hear are consistent: an accredited bariatric program, a surgeon with more than 1,000 procedures behind him, and the ability to reach that surgeon directly rather than through a department.

Many Mill Valley consultations begin somewhere other than surgery. People come in on a GLP-1 medication that worked and then plateaued, or having decided they want the medication route managed properly rather than renewed by an app. Dr. Perryman treats that as a legitimate clinical path and manages it as one — with labs, dose strategy, and a plan for what happens if it stops working.

When surgery is the right answer, the options are laid out without pressure: sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass when reflux or metabolic disease is present, robotic assistance where precision matters, and the Orbera balloon as a shorter-term, non-surgical reset. Whatever you choose, the follow-up year is structured — nutrition, labs, and check-ins — because that is what determines whether the result holds.
