Moises Chitrit Bariatric Surgeon M.D., F.A.C.S.

My first impression is that he is very knowledgeable and proud of his experience in surgery, not only bariatric. I went for the Lpa Band and he walked me through all the options and after interviewing me and my habits and lifestyle adviced that I take a deeper look at GSV. He does have an impressive resume: General Surgeon Trauma Surgery (Emergency) with advanced training in Colombia (University Hospital of el Valle, Cali) and in the United States (Shock Trauma Center, Baltimore, Maryland y en el Detroit Receiving Hospital, Detroit, Michigan) Dr. Chitrit has performed laparoscopic procedures of great complexity during the last years, such as resection of gastric tumors of (stomach), colon tumors (large bowel), small bowel, anti gastroesophageal reflux surgery, laparoscopic biliary surgery, laparoscopic hernia repairs and other procedures. Recently, Dr. Chitrit has been accepted as Member of the International Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES) At this time he is the Director of the Weight Control Surgical Center devoted to the total management of the obese patient. Initially, Dr. Chitrit completed postgraduate training in Obesity Surgery, specifically in the application of Laparoscopic Gastric Banding, being among the privileged alumni of Dr. Rafael Alvarez Cordero, one of the fathers of obesity surgery in Mexico and founder or the Obesity Society of Mexico. After that, he trained in Bypass Gastric Surgery and he is capable of offering multiple surgical procedures to patients afflicted with severe obesity.rn
