A Life-Changing Process

Saint Barnabas Medical Center Offers a Surgical Alternative for Serious Weight Problems

Have you tried every diet in the book, lost weight, only to gain all that weight back and more? You are not alone! Get off the weight loss rollercoaster.

If you are more than 80-100 pounds overweight and have tried and failed to lose weight, or if you suffer from obesity-related health problems, bariatric surgery may be the solution.

Saint Barnabas Medical Center's Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence is led by accomplished laparoscopic bariatric surgeons who are respected members of the American Society for Bariatric Surgery. Our outstanding quality of care, low complication rate and high level of surgical experience distinguish the Saint Barnabas bariatric surgery program.

The laparoscopic bariatric program at Saint Barnabas Medical Center was started by Chief of the Division of Bariatric Surgery Michael Nusbaum, M.D., in 2000. Today, Saint Barnabas has one of the largest and most distinguished bariatric centers on the east coast. The program has been selected as an American Society for Bariatric Surgery (ASBS) Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence (BSCOE). To earn this designation there is an extensive approval process that includes reviews of the surgeon's case load and complications as well as a rigorous evaluation of the quality of the program provided.

In addition to surgery, Saint Barnabas offers a comprehensive approach to weight loss and a full complement of services that support patients before, during and after surgery. The Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence partners with The Obesity and Weight Management Center to assist with lifestyle management for a successful long-term outcome. Individualized treatment plans include: nutrition counseling, cooking classes, supervised exercise programs monitored by exercise physiologists, psychotherapy, support group participation, and integrative therapies such as acupuncture, massage and hypnosis.
