More than a surgery. A life-altering experience.
There’s more to our program than simply undergoing gastric bypass surgery. Because in the days and weeks before and after your procedure, you’ll need to know what to eat and how to eat. That’s why we begin your program with an evaluation and intense nutritional counseling. You’ll learn strategies to avoid overeating, including what to order in a restaurant. You’ll learn the importance of exercise. And, after your bypass surgery your commitment is important. You’ll meet numerous times with your own bariatric counselor and be guided to support groups. All to make sure that the weight stays off. After all, the last thing we want is for you to take the weight off, only to gain it once again.
Patient Care
At Crestwood, you'll find that we are committed to excellence in patient care and service. Your health and comfort is our top priority. Our new Outpatient Center was developed with you in mind from the convenient location to the free parking. We use state of the art equipment and our staff members complete extensive inservice training to ensure that you receive the best care available. Surgeons are supported by nurses and technicians who provide skilled and compassionate care. Due to our team’s expertise and smooth processes, Crestwood Bariatric Center has been recognized as a Center of Excellence.
Restorative "Incisionless" Obesity Surgery
Even the most successful bypass patients occasionally regain weight. New surgical technology now allows surgeons to treat one of the potential sources of this weight regain. The ROSE procedure (Restorative Obesity Surgery, Endolumenal) provides an incisionless surgical option to restore gastric bypass patients' anatomy to closely match original post-surgery sizes. Restore your success. Learn more.
