Weight Loss Surgery

Studies show that people who are most successful at weight loss and weight maintenance rely on a team of medical professionals to offer support and advice.
While Norwood Hospital remains temporarily closed due to flooding, bariatric surgeon Adam Glasgow, MD, MBA, continues to see and treat patients at his new Norwood and Taunton offices.
The program includes the talented nurse practitioners, dietitians and mental health counselors who all work together to provide patients with comprehensive, coordinated care.
The Weight Control program offers sleeve gastrectomy and LAP-BAND® treatments to qualifying patients.
Sleeve Gastrectomy – also called “gastric sleeve” – is a non-reversible procedure where approximately 85 percent of the stomach is removed, the remaining taking on a tube shape. This laparoscopic surgery only calls for a few small incisions, leading to a safer and quicker recovery for patients.
LAP-BAND® is a reversible laparoscopic weight loss surgery that relies on a surgically implanted small silicone ring around the upper part of the stomach. The LAP-BAND® creates a small pouch, reducing stomach capacity and helping patients feel satisfied sooner. The LAP-BAND® can be adjusted during a routine office visit to provide the restriction necessary to maintain a feeling of satisfaction.
