St. Elizabeth Physicians Weight Management Center offers minimally invasive robotic weight-loss surgery using the da Vinci System – for a surgical weight-loss alternative that may mean fewer complications and shorter recovery time than is possible with more traditional open surgery procedures.

Potential Benefits of surgery utilizing the da Vinci System include:

• Faster recovery time.
• Less need for pain medication.
• Better wound healing with less pain. 
• Shorter recovery times and hospital stays.
• Fewer complications from surgery.
• Improved precision and control for your surgeon.

The da Vinci system offers: 

• A magnified three dimensional, high definition vision system for enhanced visibility.
• Tiny instruments that allow better flexibility and rotation than a human hand can provide.

At St. Elizabeth, our team uses the da Vinci System to perform vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) to reduce the size of your stomach and prompt chemical and metabolic changes that can help you lose weight.

This advanced technology also allows our team to perform complex surgeries to repair or revise gastric band procedures that were done previously and now require additional care. 

We understand that making the choice to have weight-loss surgery is a life-changing commitment. Our team can help you determine if robotic surgery is right for you.
