    Bariatric (Weight Loss) Surgery

    Overview

    We understand that there are many contributing factors that can cause weight gain, such as genetics, environment and metabolic factors. For those who are eligible, weight-loss (bariatric) surgery can be a safe and effective treatment.


    Accredited as a “Comprehensive Center with Adolescent Qualifications” under MBSAQIP

    The bariatric surgery program at Yale New Haven Hospital (YNHH) has been accredited as a Comprehensive Center with Adolescent Qualifications under the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP) administered jointly by the American College of Surgeons and the American Society of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery. This designation means that YNHH has met the essential criteria that ensure it is fully capable of supporting a bariatric surgery care program and that its institutional performance meets the requirements outlined by the MBSAQIP Accreditation Program.

    Designation as a “Comprehensive Center with Adolescent Qualifications” provides confirmation that a bariatric surgery center has demonstrated its commitment to providing the highest quality care for its bariatric surgery patients of all ages.
