Why Choose Us?
Quality
MountainView Regional Medical Center’s bariatric program has received recognition from Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation (MBSAQIP).
What does this mean?
These organizations have a strict set of standards that must be met before a hospital can receive these distinct seals of approval. Their rigorous review process helps ensure hospitals have all components in place to produce the best outcomes for patients. This includes:
- Staff specially-trained to treat morbidly-obese patients, including the surgeon, nurses, radiologists, anesthesiologists, nutritionists and psychologists.
- Specialized equipment and accommodations (such as patient rooms with enlarged doorways and bathrooms) that help provide a safe and comfortable hospital stay.
- Most importantly, patient experiences and outcomes are evaluated and must also meet a high standard.
Our accreditation reflects our commitment and ability to provide high-quality bariatric care.
Care
We know it can be difficult to take the first step toward obtaining weight-loss surgery; that's why we'll do everything possible to help you feel supported and encouraged.
If you successfully complete our free online bariatric seminar and decide you'd like to take the next step, we can set up your consultation. We can also verify insurance coverage.
A bariatric nurse coordinator and patient navigators can guide you through each step of the process and help to schedule your appointments with other providers.
Bariatric surgery is about more than just losing weight; it's about freeing yourself from health issues that are associated with obesity - such as high blood pressure, diabetes and sleep apnea. We strive to keep your primary care doctor and any specialists up-to-date on your progress so everyone can work together for your benefit.
We want to support you before, during and after your surgery. MountainView Regional Medical Center offers support groups for patients. We can help you stay focused on the path to a new life, with a focus on physical, mental and emotional well-being.
We look forward to supporting you on this journey!
