Bariatrics Outcomes and Quality Statistics
Many studies show that patients who have undergone gastric bypass surgery lose 75 percent of their excess weight within 12 months. At Fresh Start Bariatrics, the average weight loss is even higher. Our patients lose, on average, 89 percent - or 105 pounds - of their excess weight in the first year.
Most of our patients also experience dramatic improvement or complete resolution of their obesity-related health conditions. Patient satisfaction with our program, as measured by Press Ganey, is in the 99th percentile among bariatric programs nationwide.
Since beginning our program at Riverside Methodist Hospital:
- Dr. Myers has performed over 500 successful bariatric surgery operations
- An average of 85% of excess weight is lost after a gastric bypass operation
- 99% of operations are performed laparoscopically
- 99th patient satisfaction as measured by Press Ganey
