We are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience. To do so, we are actively working with consultants to update the website by increasing its accessibility and usability by persons who use assistive technologies
such as automated tools, keyboard-only navigation, and screen readers.
We are working to have the website conform to the relevant standards of the Section 508 Web Accessibility Standards developed by the United States Access Board, as
well as the World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1. These standards and guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities. We believe that conformance with these standards and
guidelines will help make the website more user friendly for all people.
Our efforts are ongoing. While we strive to have the website adhere to these guidelines and standards, it is not always possible to do so in all areas of the website.
If, at any time, you have specific questions or concerns about the accessibility of any particular webpage, please contact WebsiteAccess@tenethealth.com so that we may be of assistance.

You are Not Alone
Approximately 65 percent of Americans are considered overweight, about 25 percent are considered obese and about 4 percent are considered morbidly obese. These numbers are on the rise. That’s why at Placentia-Linda Hospital, our team of highly-qualified, board certified and Center of Excellence trained physicians and staff are committed to helping you lose weight through our comprehensive program with the quality and service excellence you’ve come to expect from us.
We offer several different weight-loss surgery options. Each involves modifying the stomach and/or intestines to decrease the amount of food that you can eat and some procedures change the normal absorption of the food you eat.
Our Surgery Options Include:
LAP-BAND®
Gastric Sleeve
Gastric Bypass
Revisional Surgery
If you have tried many options to lose weight including nutrition, exercise and medical expertise and have been unsuccessful, you, along with your doctor, may be considering weight loss surgery. With the Weight Loss Surgery Program at Placentia-Linda Hospital, we offer a customized approach in a safe hospital setting.
We focus on the entire “you” –getting you healthy, getting you living a longer and more active lifestyle and…helping you ensure long-term success.
Obesity can lead to serious, life-threatening illnesses and morbid obesity increases that risk. Health issues that may be resolved or improved include:
Hypertension
High Cholesterol
Type 2 Diabetes
Sleep Apnea
Arthritis / joint pain may be helped or improved
You may also have a much greater risk of developing a variety of serious medical conditions compared to individuals who are not obese and you may develop health problems at a younger age.
