Weight loss surgery can be life changing. In addition to increased mobility and energy, bariatric surgery can help you reduce the risk of many serious illnesses like diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, cancer and more.

Pathway to bariatric surgery

You can expect pre-surgical physical and psychological evaluations from your surgeon and their team. To qualify for bariatric surgery, you must have a BMI of 40 or higher or a BMI of 35 or higher with obesity-induced complications. You’ll have a personal consultation to guide you on nutrition planning and weight loss support leading up to surgery. Losing weight in advance can help your surgery be safer and more effective.

Robotic bariatric surgery

We use state-of-the-art robotics, such as the da Vinci Surgical System, to assist our surgeons in weight loss surgery. Robotic surgery offers a more precise approach to various procedures, giving surgeons more control and allowing for minimal incisions, blood loss and tissue damage. Patients often have shorter hospital stays, smaller scars, less pain and a faster return to normal activities.

Personalized support after bariatric surgery

Obesity is a chronic medical condition. Wellstar Center for Best Health provides holistic support after surgery to help you as you shift your mindset and modify your behavior. Setbacks and victories are common after bariatric surgery, and we’ll be here to help you achieve your best possible outcomes. Our approach includes monitoring and guidance from healthcare professionals, as well as nutrition counseling, exercise management and support for behavior modification.
