Our facility has all the resources dedicated to the care of patients with severe or morbid obesity that have 100 pounds or more overweight and is the only Center in Chattanooga dedicated 100% to the care of Gastric Banding patients. Our staff is trained and certified to evaluate, educate, follow and perform the necessary adjustments to make you succeed. Our surgeons have been performing the LAP-BAND® procedures since the FDA clinical trials and Dr. Ponce (our Medical Director) is a teacher and proctor and has also published and presented in different National and International Congresses and is recognized as a leader and expert with this procedure.

We have chosen to offer the LAP-BAND® procedure because is the safest and least invasive weight loss surgery available in the United States. No stomach stapling or intestinal re-routing needed, it is adjustable and 10 times safer then other more invasive procedures like the Gastric Bypass. With a dedicated staff and team our patients can achieve significant weight loss to improve or prevent most of the obesity related health conditions.
