- Bariatric Surgery Boston - Salem Hospital
- Patients living near Boston who are considering bariatric surgery know that one of the region's most successful surgical weight loss programs is at Salem Hospital. This bariatric procedure reduces the amount of food a patient can eat and minimizes the amount of nutrients and calories the body can absorb. Gastric banding procedure, in which an inflatable band is placed around a portion of the stomach, causing the patient to feel full much faster and the stomach to empty more slowly, so the patient does not feel hungry between meals. Our Surgical Weight Management Program has a high rate success – patients lose 100 pounds, on average, in their first year after bariatric surgery. This is due in part to a thorough evaluation process that helps patients and their physicians select the surgery that is best for each patient, and a highly supportive post-operative program that includes education, nutrition counseling, exercise, peer support groups and cardiac risk reduction programs.
