United Regional Health Care System Hospital

Bariatric Surgery Accredited Center    Obesity is one of America's most serious epidemics. Over 23 million Americans are morbidly obese, which means that they have a Body Mass Index (BMI) greater than 40, exceeding their ideal body weight by at least 100 pounds. According to the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery, bariatric surgery is the most effective and long lasting treatment for morbid obesity and many related conditions. A variety of surgical procedures offer not only durable and safe control of weight but also provide previously unimaginable full remission of many of the co-morbidities, including diabetes, asthma, cardiopulmonary failure, infertility and stress incontinence. The American College of Surgeons (ACS) and the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) combined their respective national bariatric surgery accreditation programs into a single unified program to achieve one national accreditation standard for bariatric surgery centers, the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP).  United Regional's Bariatric Surgery Center has received this accreditation.  Accredited Centers participate in a rigorous evaluation process that documents the comprehensiveness of the program and meets established program requirements for providing safe bariatric surgical care with excellent short- and long-term outcomes. The evaluation not only documents process, i.e., equipment, supplies, training of surgeons and staff and the availability of consultant services, but emphasizes results.  The minimally invasive surgical procedures we perform are the Lap Band, Lap Gastric Bypass and the Lap Sleeve.  Our team of weight loss specialists will help you determine which procedure is right for you.  To Our Patients We understand your struggle with weight loss and obesity.
