Lutheran Health Network announced late last year that its bariatric center had been approved for renewal as a Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence® by the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery and the Surgical Review Corporation. The ASMBS Center of Excellence designation recognizes surgical programs with a demonstrated track record of favorable outcomes in bariatric surgery. The LHN Bariatric Center was first recognized as an ASMBS Center of Excellence in 2008.
The LHN Bariatric Center offers a comprehensive, medically supervised weight-loss program that serves patients in northeastern Indiana, southern Michigan and northwestern Ohio. The program offers three surgical options:
- Sleeve gastrectomy
- Adjustable gastric band
- Roux-en-Y gastric bypass
Through Feb. 1, the LHN Bariatric Center had performed 768 procedures since the program was implemented in 2005.
