The Norwalk Hospital Surgical Weight Loss Center was one of the first, comprehensive bariatric programs in Connecticut. It has surpassed the high standards necessary to become a Bariatric Center of Excellence® as awarded by the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS). It is a unique program that has two outstanding, advanced laparoscopic bariatric surgeons who have achieved the recognition of Surgeon of Center of Excellence.
The tremendous success of our patients is a result of our multi-disciplinary approach to individualized patient care. This includes participation in our ongoing nutrition counseling, recommended exercise regimen and psycho-social therapy. There are multiple nutrition and therapy oriented support groups from which to choose. Frequent visits to the surgeon and physician assistants have also been a secret to our patients’ success. The Norwalk Hospital’s specialized bariatric team of physicians, nurses, physician assistants, and support staff will work to ensure that we exceed your expectations in providing the highest standards of bariatric care in our specialized units. We have helped over 2,700 patients lose weight and resolve their obesity-related medical conditions through Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (Lap-Bypass), Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding (Lap-Band®), Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy and Laparoscopic Revisional Bariatric Procedures.
