Bariatric Surgery That Meets Your Health Goals

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is a procedure that reduces the size of your stomach. This minimally invasive technique offers an easier, safer recovery and reduced scarring.

After surgery, your body makes less ghrelin, the hunger hormone. With a smaller stomach pouch and lower hunger hormone levels, you feel full with less food. These effects, as well as other hormonal changes, lead to pronounced weight loss. These changes also improve obesity-related medical conditions, such as diabetes, hypertension and hyperlipidemia.

We offer a complete weight loss and bariatric surgery program. Dietitians, counselors and a team of health experts all support your weight loss journey.

Personalized Support for Weight Loss Surgery

Your weight loss team includes endocrinologists, dietitians, surgeons, nurses and other specialists, who work together to create a treatment plan just for you.

We use a minimally invasive approach for weight loss surgery, so you feel less pain and recover faster.

We help you meet your goals after surgery and throughout your life, with ongoing education, support and visits.

We are accredited by the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program for our high-quality care.

We are recognized as a Blue Distinction Center for bariatric surgery by Blue Cross Blue Shield.
