Hundreds of people have chosen Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare - Elmbrook Memorial for bariatric surgery because of its success rate, its comprehensive, individualized program and its advanced level of care.

The surgeons at Elmbrook Memorial were among the first to develop a minimally-invasive approach to bariatric surgery. They perform Roux-en-Y and Lap-Band procedures laparoscopically. This requires smaller incisions so there's less recovery time and less chance of complications.

Other benefits to bariatric surgery at Elmbrook Memorial include:

  • Specifically trained bariatric nurses, dieticians, physical therapist and psychologists
  • Hospital anesthesiology, recovery, radiology and nursing staff experienced in the special needs and concerns of bariatric patients
  • Support groups before and after surgery
  • One of the highest success rates in the nation
  • Private rooms, furniture and equipment specifically designed for bariatric patients

In addition, Elmbrook Memorial has been designated a "Center of Excellence" by the American Society for Bariatric Surgery as well as Blue Cross Blue Shield of Wisconsin.Very few bariatric centers nationwide have proven themselves worthy of such achievements. Elmbrook Memorial is partnered with the Bariatric Insitute of Wisconsin,one of the most experienced and successful bariatric surgical team in the state.
