There are a number of different ways to perform the surgery. Almost all procedures are done laparoscopically, a technique that minimizes incision size and reduces recovery time and discomfort. Your surgeon will help you decide which procedure is right for you.

Bariatric surgery accreditation not only promotes uniform standard benchmarks, but also supports continuous quality improvement.
