CENTER FOR SURGICAL WEIGHT LOSS

Parkview Hospital is pleased to introduce our Surgical Weight Loss program. We offer gastric bypass surgery for clients who are 100 pounds or more overweight and have been unsuccessful at losing and maintaining weight loss with conventional diet plans. Parkview’s surgical weight loss program offers 3 gastric bypass procedures – open and laparoscopic Roux-En-Y and lap banding.

Parkview’s Center is unique in that it offers a comprehensive program of pre-operative, surgical, and post-operative services. The pre-op and post-op program of patient education, physician consultation, dietary counseling, physical therapy and surgical follow-up is offered at our outpatient office located on the campus at Parkview. A multi-disciplinary team of professionals including bariatric surgeons, anesthesiologists, internists, psychologists, nurses, dieticians and ancillary staff are all specially trained in caring for the special needs of the patients. Parkview Hospital has a designated wing with private rooms and specially trained nurses to address the needs of our patients.

Parkview’s Center also provides ongoing support to assist our patients in sustaining the life-style changes essential for long-term success. Regular support groups, information sessions, dietary and emotional counseling are available at our office.
