Why choose the Lee Bariatric & Metabolic Institute?

99% of operations are performed laparoscopically through small incisions which help to minimize pain and hospital stay and save on cost. Most patients equate the experience of undergoing a laparoscopic bariatric operation to a laparoscopic cholecystectomy. At the Lee Bariatric & Metabolic Institute, not only do we treat obesity, we also emphasize studying the causes and the prevention of obesity to provide individualized personal care to provide better and longer lasting results.
