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" as well as with "Blue Cross Blue Shield Seal of Blue Distinction." Today, we are second-to-none as a practice as well as program.. 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. With insurance carriers now recongizing the vertical sleeve gastrectomy surgery as a covered weight loss surgery , the sleeve operation is our "new kid on the block." The vertical sleeve operation allows for reduction of the stomach size without involving the intestines. The results of this procedure is on par with the Roux en Y gastric bypass operation within the first year. Our practice continues to be a leader in the LapBand™ and Realize Band ™ gastric banding procedure. In the past seven years, the popularity of the LapBand™ and the Realize Band ™ here in the United States continues to grow. The gastric adjustable banding surgery offers our patients another viable choice in weight loss procedures. Although gastric banding results are more gradual than the Roux en Y and vertical sleeve gastrectomy procedures, studies conclude that two years following surgery, the weight loss outcomes for vertical sleeve gastrectomy, Roux en Y and gastric banding 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.
