Bariatric Surgery

Weight loss surgery—or "bariatric surgery"—involves reducing the size of the patient's stomach. This means that a patient will feel full sooner, eat less, and with the help of other lifestyle changes, reduce their weight.

There are two types of bariatric surgical procedures: restrictive and malabsorptive. Our accomplished weight loss surgeons can help determine which type of procedure will best accommodate each patient.

Some of the surgical procedures we provide include:

We Set You Up for Success

Whether or not to have weight-loss surgery is an important life decision. To help you decide if bariatric surgery is the right choice for you, RWJ Hamilton offers monthly support group meetings, ongoing dietary/nutritional classes (including pre-operative and post-operative nutritional counseling) and educational seminars with invited guest speakers.

More than just performing the surgery, our physicians and counselors can help patients identify and establish the lifestyle changes they need to make their weight loss surgery a success. We also offer ongoing support group resources and nutritional counseling, exercise specialists and support staff to provide a full continuum of services and counseling.
