About Us


Obesity Surgery/ Morbid Obesity Surgery Obesity Surgery NYC, NY


Obesity is an increasingly prevalent epidemic. It comes with serious health risks including: heart disease, sleep apnea, hypertension, diabetes, and infertility. Morbid obesity affects the lives of millions of Americans, and there aren't simple answers as to why we become obese, or how we can resolve it. At the Center for Obesity Surgery at Columbia Medical Center, in New York City, they offer a variety of surgical solutions for treating morbid obesity. The Center for Obesity Surgery at Columbia Medical Center is an American College of Surgeons Center of Excellence, and has received a 5 star rating from Health Grades.

Surgery has become an acceptable method of treatment for morbid obesity because it seems to be the only option to provide long-term maintained weight loss in-patients with clinically severe obesity. In fact, the number of patients having surgical treatment for obesity has doubled in recent years. At the Center for Obesity Surgery at Columbia Medical Center, they perform laparoscopic surgery whenever possible. Laparoscopic surgery has the advantage of smaller incisions, a quicker recovery time, and less risk of complications. However, Obesity surgeons should be skilled in more than one surgical approach as the specific procedure needs to be carefully matched to the individual patient. At the Center for Obesity Surgery at Columbia Medical Center, they offer the following procedures:

  • Roux-en-Y Gastric
  • Duodenal Switch
  • LAP-BAND System
  • Gastric Sleeve
  • Obesity Surgery Revisions

At the Center for Obesity Surgery at Columbia Medical Center, they offer pre-operative education and seminars, and post-operative care. The Center for Obesity Surgery works closely with the Weight Control Center at Columbia Medical Center, which is one of the most highly respected weight management programs in the region. Their work is geared toward reducing the presence or risk of weight-related diseases, and they work closely with you and your family physician.
