 Level 1a Certified Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence |
The University of Washington is a nationally recognized leader in Bariatric (Weight Loss) Surgery, and has been designated a Center of Excellence for Bariatric Surgery by the American College of Surgeons.
We provide world-class comprehensive care for obesity and obesity-related health problems, with a dedicated team of surgeons, nurses, nutritionists, physical therapists, and psychologists. Unlike many centers that take a one-operation-fits-all approach, we tailor our interventions to the individual needs of our patients. We perform both the laparoscopic gastric bypass and the laparoscopic adjustable band (LapBand).
Our goal is to help provide the tools that you need to achieve and maintain improvements in your weight, your health, and in your life through extensive pre-operative education and counseling, excellent surgical outcomes, and comprehensive follow-up care.
