Raymond Taddeucci MD Bariatric Center

Dr. Raymond Taddeucci grew up in St. Louis, MO and made the move to Nebraska in 1991 to attend Creighton University. He majored in chemistry and went on to attend Creighton University School of Medicine. Seeing that Nebraska was indeed “The Good Life”, he stayed at Creighton and completed his general surgery residency in 2005. Laparoscopic surgery, also known as minimally invasive surgery, has always interested Dr. Taddeucci. He was selected for a one-year fellowship in minimally invasive surgery at the University of Tennessee-Memphis. The primary focus of this training was weight loss surgery, including laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding, and gastric bypass revision surgery. During this year of training he became proficient in all aspects of weight loss surgery, including pre-operative and post-operative care. He trained under Dr. Atul Madan, who is now the chair of the Division of Laparoendoscopic and Bariatric Surgery at The University of Miami, and Dr. David Tichansky, who is now the director of the Division of Bariatric Surgery at Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia. To date, Dr. Taddeucci has performed nearly 200 Lap-Band procedures and around 100 laparoscopic gastric bypasses. He is the author or co-author of 10 national journal articles and eight national conference presentations on the topics of minimally invasive and bariatric surgery. He was a presenter at the 2006 American Society of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery conference.
