Obesity Surgeon Pioneers Weight Loss Route in Alberta
Medicine Hat general surgeon Dr. Carl Nohr is among two Alberta doctors performing Roux en Y gastric bypass surgeries. The operation creates a small stomach pouch and reconnects the bowel to limit intake. Patients lose significant weight, but the procedure carries about one percent death risk and requires BMI 40 plus failed other methods. Alberta Health covers costs. Nohr has performed over 500 operations since 1986 attracting patients from across western Canada and the Yukon.
