Bariatric Surgery Centers in
the U.S.
by Eddie Tobey
According to the American College of Surgeons, most severely obese patients
fail to maintain a normal, healthy weight without non-surgical means. Because
surgery holds the key to success for so many obese Americans, it is helpful to
learn about prominent bariatric surgery centers.
Many hospitals and medical centers now have bariatric surgery centers onsite.
These centers do more than just perform surgeries; many offer a
multidisciplinary approach, including the expertise of surgeons, psychologists,
registered dietitians, physical therapists, exercise physiologist, meditation
specialists, and others. Some centers will also communicate with the patients
insurance company for the pre-approval and appeal process. Most provide ongoing
medical check-ups to monitor patient health and weight-loss post-operatively.
On occasion, bariatric surgical centers will partner with others to form a
cooperative, essentially doubling the services they can provide and the number
of patients they can assist. Many also contract with contract with financial
institutions to offer financial assistance to patients who do not have insurance
but who still want bariatric surgery.
The American College of Surgeons (ACS) recommends choosing a bariatric center
that completes at least 125 bariatric surgeries per year. According to the ACS,
well-equipped centers will typically have two or more bariatric surgeons on
staff, and highly experienced surgeons would be certified by the American Board
of Surgery and complete at least fifty bariatric operations per year.
There are bariatric surgery centers located across the entire country. Prominent
bariatric surgery centers include the Alsam Bariatric Center, the Michigan
Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence P.C., the University of Pittsburgh
Medical Center, the Hackensack Bariatric Surgery Center, the Bariatric Institute
of Kentucky, and the California Institute of Minimally Invasive Surgerys
Advanced Bariatric Surgery Center of Fresno, among many others.
