Welcome to the Memorial Bariatric Surgery Center
The Bariatric Surgery Center at Memorial Hospital offers the opportunity for individuals who are morbidly obese to begin the journey towards a healthy life. Bariatric surgery, the surgical treatment of obesity, is considered the most successful approach to rescuing patients from morbid obesity and can reverse or prevent the development of diseases associated with obesity. Surgical treatment for morbid obesity is not a cosmetic procedure; it is a tool to aid in weight reduction and assist with the resolution of obesity related diseases. It is a health aid that results in loss of weight by reducing the size of the stomach to limit the amount of food.
The Bariatric Surgery Center at Memorial Hospital is recognized as an ASMBS Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence, a Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Florida Bariatric Blue Distinction Center, an Aetna Preferred provider, a CIGNA Certified Hospital and an OptumHealth Center of Excellence.
