Bariatric Surgery Program at Scripps Green Hospital

For demonstrating a track record of favorable outcomes, the surgical weight loss program at Scripps Green Hospital has been designated a Center of Excellence by the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery. The seal is earned by programs that have the highest standards in the industry—and is indicative of our commitment to providing a high level of care.

Expertise and advanced treatment

With extensive training and clinical expertise, our board-certified surgeons provide the most-advanced weight-loss surgeries available. To speed recovery and reduce pain, the following procedures may be performed using laparoscopy, a minimally invasive approach:

  • Gastric bypass
  • Gastric banding
  • Sleeve gastrectomy

Comprehensive care

Bariatric surgery is not a quick fix. It is most effective when paired with long-term lifestyle changes in diet and exercise. Our program is designed to provide the care, support and guidance needed. In addition to highly-trained surgeons, our medical team at the Scripps Clinic Center for Weight Management includes experts in metabolism, endocrinology, nutrition, exercise and mental health. Together, they can help our patients deal with the physical, psychological and dietary challenges that accompany obesity and weight loss surgery.
