Unity Bariatric Center surgeons Jeffrey Baker, MD, and Frederick Johnson, MD, recently presented a live weight loss surgery webcast.
Dr. Baker performed a laparoscopic adjustable gastric band surgery, commonly known as Lap-BandŽ or Realize Band™ surgery, while Dr. Johnson answered viewer questions.
A replay of the webcast is now available...
Each year we perform more than 500 weight loss surgeries, with a rate of complications far below the national average. In recognition of our quality and success, Unity has been designated a Center of Excellence by The American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery, and a Blue Distinction Center for Bariatric Surgery by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Minnesota.
Our program revolves around your needs
Think of Unity as your personal weight loss support team. Our bariatric nurse clinicians, dieticians, therapists and exercise specialists will be there for you every step of the way.
We’ll make sure you have the education, encouragement and assistance you need to achieve long-term weight loss and embrace a healthier lifestyle.
We start with a free information session, where you’ll learn about the different types of weight loss surgery and your treatment options. You will then meet one on one with a bariatric nurse clinician, who will be your guide in preparing for surgery, and for long after. After your surgery, you’ll even receive your surgeon’s pager number, just in case you have any questions or concerns, day or night.
Why more than 5,500 people have chosen Unity for their bariatric surgery
