Bariatric Procedures % Per Surgeon

The following chart breakdowns the types of surgeries performed by each MBC bariatric specialist in 2021.

Surgical Complexity

Bariatric, or weight-loss surgery, is rapidly evolving every day. The days of open incision surgery are behind us and minimally invasive procedures like gastric sleeve, RNY gastric bypass, gastric balloon, and even revolutionary procedures like endoscopic-banded gastroplasty have taken over the mainstream market.

Surgeons with advanced skill sets along with cutting-edge medical technology have laid the framework for more efficient, safer obesity treatment around the world.
