Dr. Aaron Bornstein, a bariatric surgeon for SSM Weight Management Services at SSM Health St. Clare Hospital and SSM Health DePaul Hospital, says the team offers an individualized approach to weight loss for every patient.
The Weight Management Services team offers both non-surgical options such as nutrition and wellness programs and support groups. Surgical options include Gastric Bypass, Sleeve Gastrectomy, Gastric Banding, Intragastric Balloon, and LAP-BAND® options.
“The robot itself is actually three separate pieces. There is the robot, which has four arms that comes in, docks on the patient, and then I control it from a separate station within the room,” he said. “It allows me to have 3D visualization, more fine-tuned movements, and more control with the operation.”
“I’m just excited that we’re able to branch out into that part of the city and be closer to people. It’s going to be a beautiful office, and people don’t have to drive as far to come and see us,” Bornstein said.
