Surgical Weight Loss Options at HCA Virginia
At HCA Virginia, surgical weight loss procedures are often performed using minimally invasive or laparoscopic techniques. This means major operations can be performed through tiny incisions with specialized miniature surgical instruments. The result: reduced postsurgical pain, shortened hospital stays, reduced overall recovery time and reduced risk of infections and incisional hernias.
These procedures have been shown in long-term medical studies to help patients safely, effectively and permanently lose over 50 percent of their excess weight, improving health, mobility and quality of life.
