The UW Health bariatric surgery program believes that more important than the number of pounds lost is the overall improved health gained after bariatric surgery. The true measure of the operation's success is the improvement or even elimination of many obesity conditions.
With that in mind, our program staff will work with you post-surgery to make sure that you have the resources you need to continue on your path to a healthier life.
UW Health's bariatric surgery program is designated as a Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence by the American Society for Bariatric Surgery. We're also designated as a Blue Distinction Center for Bariatric Surgery by Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield and the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association.
