Surgical options

Named a “Center of Excellence” by the American College of Surgeons, Chesapeake Regional’s Bariatric Surgery Program offers a comprehensive range of pre- and post-operative education, support and outreach.

Those who have a body mass index of 35 or greater and have other health risks, including diabetes or high cholesterol, may qualify for bariatric surgery.

Bariatric surgery options include gastric bypass, gastric banding and sleeve gastrectomy. A team of board certified bariatric surgeons, bariatric coordinator and nurses, along with several other physician specialties, provide the personalized care you need to achieve the best results possible.

Exercise: Lifestyle Center

In the journey to weight-loss, diet is only half the battle. Having, and sticking to, an exercise program is also an essential component. With the aid of personal trainers and the bariatric coordinator, the Lifestyle Center at Chesapeake Regional Medical Center can help you lose weight, improve your health and feel better.
