Experienced Surgeon
Our bariatric surgeon, Brian
Quebbemann, M.D., has one of the largest experiences in performing
laparoscopic (minimally invasive) bariatric surgery in the United
States. Dr. Quebbemann regularly performs laparoscopic weight loss
surgery on clinically obese patients, regardless of level of excess
weight or history of previous surgery.
Laparoscopic Surgery
Minimally invasive surgery results in quicker recovery, less pain
and better outcomes. The N.E.W. Program at SCMC offers the following
proven weight loss operations using the minimally invasive method:
Essentially all surgery is performed laparoscopically. Most patients
leave the hospital the first or second day after surgery.
Impressive Results
Surgery for obesity can cure diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea,
heart failure and numerous other medical conditions. Patients who
undergo bariatric surgery typically lose over 70% of their excess
weight and can lose up to 100 percent of their excess body weight.
The main weight loss generally occurs within 18-24 months after surgery.
Who is a Candidate For Surgery?
Candidates for this surgery are those who have a Body Mass Index (BMI)
of at least 35 or higher and have failed to lose weight using traditional
weight loss techniques.
