If you are thinking about bariatric surgery, we encourage you to attend one of our free monthly educational bariatric surgery seminars to learn more about the three procedures we offer at the Hurley Bariatric Center: Gastric Bypass, Sleeve Gastrectomy and Adjustable Gastric Banding.

Each bariatric procedure has its own unique benefits and risks. If you decide to pursue bariatric surgery, you and our expert care team will discuss each of the surgical options and your weight loss goals. You will learn about the differences between gastric bypass surgery, sleeve gastrectomy and adjustable gastric banding. Once you and your medical team decide which surgical weight loss procedure is right for you we will work together with you to create a customized plan that will help to safely achieve your weight loss goals.

Oftentimes these surgical weight loss procedures can be performed with the laparoscopic approach.  This approach uses smaller incisions which results in less scarring, fewer complications, less post-operative pain, and often, a quicker recovery.  When you and your medical team decide on the procedure that is best for you, you may also discuss if a laparoscopic approach would be effective in your case.
