The Center for Weight Loss Surgery at Middlesex Hospital

Bariatric Surgery - Change is Possible

Imagine your diabetes – cured; your sleep apnea – cured; your high blood pressure – cured. Imagine riding a bicycle, taking long walks, tying your shoes and enjoying activities that you once took for granted. If you're struggling with obesity, it can be hard to imagine your life differently. But with bariatric surgery procedures including gastric bypass surgery and Lapband ™ surgery, change is possible.

At the Center for Weight Loss Surgery at Middlesex Hospital in Middletown, Connecticut, we understand what you're going through. We have earned the American Society of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery's (ASMBS) Center of Excellence designation for our demonstrated track record of favorable outcomes following thousands of bariatric surgery procedures. It's a designation we are very proud of, and one you can take comforting in knowing about us.

First Steps to Weight Loss Surgery

Weight loss surgery is an appropriate alternative for patients who have tried all conservative measures to control their weight and have failed. At the Center for Weight Loss Surgery at Middlesex Hospital, we know that we can treat patients successfully, reduce the risk and severity of their problems, and improve their quality of life.

The prospect of having a surgery to solve your weight problem is a big step, but it takes a big step to solve a big problem. It is only after all other reasonable measures at weight reduction have failed that weight loss surgery options like gastric bypass and Lapband ™ surgery should be considered.

Bariatric surgery is intended only for those diagnosed with clinically severe or morbid obesity, and may not be right for everyone. But through a comprehensive evaluation of your history and your health, we can help you determine if weight loss surgery is the best option for you.
