Our team is dedicated to the care of surgical weight loss patients.  We have the most experienced team in the region and provide top quality care.  Although we have done over 800 laparoscopic gastric bypass procedures and more sleeve gastrectomies than any other tri-state practice, our focus is primarily on the LAP-BAND/REALIZE BAND procedure and we have the most experienced team in the state.  We have performed over 1500 gastric bands and have managed over well over 2000 patients.

We have become a regional LAP-BAND care center, with patients from all over the country who seek out our help for all things band-related.  Whether you live in Idaho and have a slipped band and you are looking for an experienced surgeon to fix it, or you live right down the street, WE ARE HERE TO HELP!!

Our center includes: 

•    The Center for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery, a state-of-the-art Center of Excellence clinic for management of surgical weight loss patients, including a multimedia conference center and over 20 experienced staff.

•    The METABOLIC FAST-TRACK WEIGHT LOSS CENTER, a 4000 square-foot lifestyle, fitness, and nutrition center for surgical weight loss patients that can help you scientifically measure your caloric expenditure through BodyGem resting metabolic rate testing.

•    JourneyLite of Cincinnati , a 12,000 square-foot outpatient surgical center dedicated only to Lap Band and Realize Band patients, designed from the ground up to cater to surgical weight loss clientele and the only one of it's kind in the state.
