It is now known that Bariatric surgery, more commonly known as weight loss surgery, provides the only definitive treatment for a multitude of co-morbid conditions in the morbidly obese patient population. In addition to this, Bariatric Surgery is the only intervention which provides a significant sustained weight loss over a longer period of time.

Laparoscopic Bariatric Surgery, when performed by an appropriately trained laparoscopic surgeon, hastens the recovery and return to normal function. Experience and training in bariatric surgery, advanced laparoscopic surgery skills, and a commitment to long-term patient management are the requirements to a successful weight loss program.

The surgeons of Surgical Weight Management Associates, LLC are dedicated to providing our patients with a program offering a comprehensive approach to the surgical management of weight loss.

Our number one goal at Surgical Weight Management Associates is to make our patients healthier.

Our program consists of four advanced laparoscopic surgeons, Doctors Frederick, David, Eric Rau, and Donald P. Schwab Jr.

In addition, all four of our bariatric surgeons have been performing bariatric surgery for over five years with a success rate that is well above the national average. Our program offers both laparoscopic gastric bypass and laparoscopic gastric adjustable banding (lap band) and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy as tools to aid the morbidly obese patient in weight loss.
