At TGH + USF Health Bariatric Center, our focus is on our patients and how we can help them accomplish their weight loss goals. First and foremost, we work to improve and resolve medical conditions such as diabetes and hypertension through surgical and non-surgical means. The quality of life for our patients is improved as a result.

Weight loss doesn’t happen instantaneously after bariatric surgery. For meaningful, long-term results, patients need to make a conscious effort to follow a healthful diet, control their portions, stay physically active, and be mindful of their stress levels and emotions.

Like traditional weight loss surgery, endoscopic bariatric procedures aim to reduce the volume of the stomach to restrict the number of calories the body can ingest and absorb. However, endoscopic surgery does not involve an abdominal incision. Instead, it is performed with a small, flexible scope inserted through the mouth and guided into the digestive tract. Our Endoscopic Bariatric Program offers this minimally invasive surgical approach that can help a patient achieve significant weight loss with minimal risk and a quick recovery.
