CCS Bariatrics
(Drs. Earle, Hoxworth, Martin, & Newman) launched
laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery on November 18,
2003 at the Wesley Long Hospital campus of the Moses
H Cone Health System. Since then we have done several hundred
laparoscopic gastric bypasses. CCC
Bariatrics
provides
two board
certified surgeons to
perform each
case.
One
of these
bariatric surgeons will also perform upper endoscopy
to check the stomach pouch at the end of the case.
CCS Bariatrics
launched INAMED LapBand (now owned by Allergan) placement
on February 22, 2005. The number of LapBands placed by CCS surgeons numbers in the hundreds and includes many who participated in a study examining LapBand with truncal vagotomy. Currently the LapBand AS systems is being implanted. CCS Bariatrics
are ready to serve you if you choose to have a LapBand.
If you would like more information on the LapBand,

If you are
interested in bariatric surgery, we would like to help
you. First we ask that you attend one of our free bariatric
informational seminars. After that, the journey may
begin! For detailed information on the LapBand, download this pdf Lapband Brochure.
What makes
CCS Bariatrics different from most other programs?
We work together
to do your surgery. That means that you have 2 board
certified surgeons trained in advanced laparoscopic
techniques performing your surgery. We will do no
more that two of these cases in a day--we make time
for you. If you have a problem, it means that one
of us is likely
to be
here to take care of you. (Click here to learn more
