Robotic-Assisted Bariatric Surgery
At Baptist Hospital, we’re proud to offer robotic bariatric surgery using the advanced da Vinci surgical system — a breakthrough in minimally invasive care. This technology enhances precision, control and visualization, allowing our surgeons to perform complex procedures with smaller incisions and greater accuracy.

Procedures Performed:
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB)
- Reduces stomach size and reroutes the small intestine
- Limits food intake and nutrient absorption
- Often used for patients with severe obesity or related conditions like type 2 diabetes
Sleeve gastrectomy (gastric sleeve)
- Removes ~80% of the stomach
- Creates a smaller, sleeve-shaped stomach to restrict food intake
- Preserves normal digestion without intestinal rerouting
Revisional bariatric surgery
- Corrects or modifies previous weight-loss surgeries
- Addresses complications or insufficient weight loss
