If you are looking for excellence in the field of weight loss surgery, The Bariatric Surgery Department, a part of Columbia University Medical Center has received the highest possible designation (1A) from the American College of Surgeons. This recognition was for the Hospitals ability to provide the best care for its patients in the Bronx and New York City. Weight loss is not carried out by a surgery alone. It is a process that needs to be monitored and supported. This is carried out by a staff of expert board certified surgeons, advanced nurse practitioners and registered dietitians.
The Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery is a common bariatric surgery performed. During this procedure, the stomach size is reduced using surgical staples creating a small pouch at the top of the stomach. This immediately reduces the amount of food intake by the patient. The pouch is then connected to the middle of the small intestine. Food bypasses the larger, lower portion of the stomach and the top portion of the small intestine which makes the patient feel fuller faster. This surgery is popular for its both reliable results and minimal side effects.
Other procedures provided are:
Banded Gastric Bypass
Gastric Banding
Sleeve Gastrectomy
A wide variety of procedures gives doctors more flexibility in being able to customize and cater the surgery to personal patient situations. This paired with the post-op follow up and support make life long weight loss a reality.
