John DeBarros Bariatric Surgeon M.D.

Dr. DeBarros was funny and made me feel comfortable during our appointment. He was straight to the point and honest, which I really appreciated.

I just had my lap-band surgery with WLIA. All went smooth, the nurses were wonderful and Dr. DeBarros explained the entire procedure putting me at ease. Thank you for making this process so simple to complete.

After hearing Dr DeBarros and Dr Orris talk about the WLIAZ program, I was excited to start my journey. I am taking their advise and learning everyday how having surgery will change my life for the better. Thank you!

Dr Debarros will be doing my surgery later this year. I have found have a great office team with a support system available including Mike a nutritionist. I am very excited to be on this road with a great team.

I started my journey in 2013. I wish I had started earlier. Dr. DeBarros explained everything to me completely. I felt very comfortable by the time my surgery date came. Now that I have had the surgery I am still getting the same care. Sometimes waiting for appointments can be long, but that happens in any doctors office. His office has all the tools you need for successful weight loss. The support you get from his office is awesome, which is what I needed. I like the support groups and the Facebook support also. It is an office you feel welcome in.

I've been coming to WLIAZ for the last two years and i couldn't be happier. Everything has been easy peasy. The Drs have been very reachable and make me feel like I am not just a number. Also, the staff have been so professional and kind. Thank you!

Have had a great experience with WLIA. The staff and Dr's have made this experience a great and easy journey. Would highly recommend

Every visit I have had at any of their offices, I have been treated like a friend, not just a patient. Dr. DeBarros answered all my questions, and made me feel like I was well informed. The surgery I had was the lap band and the surgery itself went great. I have already lost 50 pounds and cant wait to lose the rest. Thanks Dr. DeBarros.

Dr. DeBarros is the most amazing doctor. I had my surgery done in 2007 and have never regretted a day of it. I can not say enough about Dr DeBarros and Dr. Orris and Mike Murphy RD and staff, they are very caring and want you to succeed in your weight loss journey regardless of what surgery you have done there (Lapband, Gastric Bypass, Sleeve). I had the lapband done and I still go in on occasion to follow up or just to show them how well I'm doing. I am treated like family and if I have any questions or concerns they are more than willing to help and go the extra mile for me. I will continue going there and suggest that anyone thinking about weight loss surgery go there and check them out, you will not regret it.

For many years I have tried and failed to lose weight so in desperation I decided to turn to weight loss surgery. After doing some research online I decided that Weight Loss Institute Of Arizona was right for me. I met with Dr. DeBarros and Dr. Orris at my initial consultation. They were both friendly, professional, answered all of my questions, and alleviated any concern I had about the procedure. I was very satisfied with the care that I received and am greatly looking forward to my procedure.
