When you choose to have bariatric surgery at Virtua, you are choosing a program that is nationally accredited as a Comprehensive Bariatric Surgery Center designated by Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP).
This means that Virtua Memorial and Virtua Marlton have been acknowledged for providing and supporting quality improvement and patient safety efforts for metabolic and bariatric surgery patients. Our accredited programs have successfully demonstrated that they meet patient needs by providing multidisciplinary, high-quality, patient-centered care. Our bariatric surgery program coordinator and nurse navigators are specially trained to assist patients on their journey toward weight loss.

All of our surgeons are board certified in bariatric surgery and take a minimally invasive approach, performing surgery through a few small incisions, whenever possible.
Virtua offers the following bariatric procedures:
• Sleeve gastrectomy (gastric sleeve)
• Adjustable gastric band (Lap-band)
• Loop duodenal switch (SADI-S)
We also offer revisional surgery, which is used to modify a previous bariatric procedure to another when medically necessary.
