If you have tried losing significant weight in the past without success, bariatric (weight loss) surgery may be an option for you. With an 80 percent success rate, bariatric surgery at Highland Hospital has helped thousands of individuals achieve their weight loss goals.

Highland Hospital is the region’s only bariatric center accredited by the American College of Surgeons. As the recognized leader in bariatric surgery, we do more gastric bypass and lap band procedures than any other hospital in the area. And research shows that centers performing the most surgeries have the best outcomes.

Our highly-trained surgeons, who are faculty members at the University of Rochester Medical Center, have over 10 years of experience and have performed nearly 4,000 weight loss surgeries - more than any other hospital in the area.

We are the only bariatric program that takes a comprehensive approach and truly partners with patients for the best long-term outcomes – we offer everything from pre-surgical education, to nutrition and lifestyle counseling, to post-surgical support. And, we have the only plastic surgeon in the region who is fellowship-trained in body contouring surgery and specializes in this type of surgery, so our patients can have the most satisfying long-range result possible.
