A common thread at Cleveland Clinic is our commitment to quality and excellence. At every step of the way during your bariatric surgery procedure, a bariatric surgeon from the Bariatric and Metabolic Institute will focus on your safety and your comfort. We believe that you should be thoroughly educated about the weight loss surgery you are going through, that each of your questions about your bariatric treatment should be answered by our bariatric surgeons and staff and that you should receive all the support you need to succeed. Our obesity surgeons provide a wide range of weight loss surgery procedures, and have performed hundreds of operations. The surgeons set the standard for bariatric treatment programs (including weight loss surgery) worldwide and are active members of the American Society of Bariatric Surgery.
