Overview
The Bariatric Weight Loss Center at Pikeville Medical Center is the region's most comprehensive bariatric center, offering Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass, Adjustable Gastric Banding Surgery and Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy procedures.
At Pikeville Medical Center, our focus is on the whole patient rediscovering their quality of life, by offering a full variety of services ranging from psychological to nutritional needs, and using surgery as a tool to change their life.
Dr. Salvador D. Ramos II uses state-of-the-art, minimally-invasive procedures to ensure patients recover quickly and can maintain a higher quality of life.
"It's not about losing the weight as much as it is about living a healthier life," Dr. Ramos said. "Our goal is to utilize our services to choose a procedure that is right for the patient and ensure they maintain their weight loss through an innovative education program and other support services."
Patients that go through bariatric surgery procedures see great results. Health risks, such as diabetes, sleep apnea and hypertension (high blood pressure), are either cured or improved. Some patients reduce their dependence on medications for these health conditions, which results in substantial cost savings. Overall, bariatric patients enjoy a healthier life, a more active life and, more importantly, a longer life.
"Bariatric surgery is a life-changing event, but our commitment to our patient far surpasses the realm of a surgical procedure," Dr. Ramos said. "We're committed to long-term follow-up care and offering all the support services our patients need to live life to its fullest."
