For the severely obese, carrying around extra pounds is not only life threatening, but may limit life activities others take for granted.  Severe obesity means being overweight to the point where your body may be prone to diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease and a wide range of other serious disorders.

The Bariatric Program at Des Peres Hospital is an American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellenceâ (BSCOE).  We offer surgical hope and help to those who have tried repeatedly and unsuccessfully to lose excess weight and keep it off. 

The surgical procedures performed at Des Peres Hospital are Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding, Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass and Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy.  These procedures are tools that allow you more control over your consumption of food.

Our multidisciplinary medical team of physicians, psychologists, anesthesiologists, nurses and dietitians works together to assess each patient’s needs and help them achieve a healthier lifestyle.  The goal is to help you lose weight and enjoy your new life.
