Surgical Weight Loss Center

The Mercy Surgical Weight Loss Center offers a comprehensive program tailored to provide patients with informational sessions, support groups and online resources they need in order to reach their health and weight loss goals.

The Mercy Surgical Weight Loss Center provides a supportive, multi-disciplinary approach, so that our patients have the tools to be successful before and after surgery.

Surgical procedures performed by specially trained surgeons include: the Laparoscopic adjustable band (Lap-Band), Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass Roux-en Y and the Sleeve Gastrectomy. The Surgical Weight Loss Center at Mercy Hospital is currently one of the only facilities in the area that perform the Sleeve Gastrectomy (Gastric Sleeve).

The Center’s Bariatric Team, which is comprised of a dedicated team of surgeons, psychiatrists, registered dieticians, registered nurses, licensed physical therapists, bariatric coordinator and other healthcare professionals, work together to ensure that all the patient’s medical needs are met.

The Bariatric Team at Mercy Hospital understands that obesity is a disease and makes it their goal to assist those who are afflicted with this epidemic. Because it is a major decision to have weight loss surgery, the Center’s mission is to provide the patient with thorough, accurate information that will assist them in making an informed decision.
