Bariatric Weight Loss Surgery Specialists Minneapolis, Minnesota Baker Bariatrics, LLC is preeminent in the field of Bariatric surgery. Founded by Dr. Jeffrey D. Baker, the Baker Bariatric, LLC practice is committed to providing state-of-the-art care for the obese patient. In conjunction with Unity Hospital's Bariatric Center, we provide a comprehensive weight loss and surgical program that is recognized nationally as a "Bariatric Center of Excellence." Today, we are second-to-none. The trend towards laparoscopic surgery versus the once popular open procedure has become the standard at Baker Bariatrics, LLC as well. All weight loss operations are routinely performed by our surgeons laporascopically, as research supports that this surgical procedure is less invasive for the patient and allows a much faster recovery time. Additionally, our practice is a leader in the LapBand™ gastric banding procedure. In the past two years, the popularity of the LapBand™ here in the United States has grown dramatically. The LapBand™ offers our patients another viable choice in weight loss procedures. Although LapBand™ results are more gradual than the Roux en Y procedure, studies conclude that two years following surgery, the weight loss outcomes for both Roux en Y and LapBand™ patients is virtually the same. “Our approach is to treat each patient as an individual,” states Dr. Baker. “We consider the patient as a whole person. Our staff of highly trained nurse clinicians, dieticians and psychologists works with each patient every step of the way to ensure a successful result. We don’t leave any part of the care process to chance.” At Baker Bariatrics, we understand the plight of the obese patient and each patient comes first. Our surgeons are on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Baker Bariatrics, LLC makes a personal commitment to each patient who takes this step into healthier living and life. We invite you to come and see for yourself if Baker Bariatrics, LLC can help you to better your life. You'll be glad you did.
