Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Program:
Obesity is a threat to health. While surgical weight loss is not a quick fix, it is a safe and effective alternative when other methods are not successful. Success depends on your commitment to lifelong diet modifications and exercise.
Our program offers several types of bariatric surgery, including gastric banding, gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, and surgical revisions of previous bariatric surgery, all with the support of a comprehensive and multidisciplinary team to help you achieve and maintain our weight loss goals. Our team consists of two fellowship-trained surgeons, an advanced practice nurse, a registered dietitian, and a customer service representative who are dedicated exclusively to care for bariatric surgery patients.
Our procedures are performed using minimally invasive endoscopic surgery or laparoscopic surgery, techniques in which operations in the abdomen are performed via small incisions. Minimally invasive surgeries are generally less traumatic than open surgery and offer a quicker recovery and less pain for the patient. We also offer monthly support group meetings as well as an online support group to provide additional support and information following a surgical procedure.
