Bariatric Surgery

in Denver, Colorado

Welcome to the Colorado Bariatric Surgery Institute (CBSI). We specialize in bariatric surgery for the morbidly obese patient. Bariatric or "weight loss" surgery provides a wonderful opportunity to undergo a healthy life change by accomplishing long-term weight loss.

Bariatric surgery is recognized by the medical community as the only effective means of long-term weight loss for severe obesity (approximately 100 lbs overweight) in those who have repeatedly failed other weight loss treatments. Patients who undergo bariatric surgery lose an estimated 75% of their excess body weight, favorably impacting their health and overall well-being.

At CBSI we have established a complete bariatric program with a dedicated and compassionate multidisciplinary team. Such a complete and experienced program ensures your success when making such an important decision like undergoing bariatric surgery.

Dr. Brown and Presbyterian/St. Luke's Medical Center are designated as a "Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence" by the American Society of Bariatric Surgery (ASBS). ASBS has purposefully identified qualified hospitals and surgeons who have demonstrated a high standard of care in bariatrics. If you are considering bariatric surgery, it is critical to choose a Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence to minimize the risk of complications and to ensure potential for long-term success.
