On Wednesday, November 7 at 6 pm, Luciano DiMarco, DO, FACOS, medical director of bariatric surgery at PinnacleHealth, will perform the gold-standard of weight-loss surgery, Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass at the PinnacleHealth Community Campus. Since 1998, Luciano DiMarco, DO, FACOS, and his partners, Doctors Scot A. Currie and Matthew Davidson, have performed this surgery laparoscopically, reducing chance of infection, shortening hospital stay and improving recovery time.
"Airing weight-loss surgery online gives prospective and current patients a behind-the-scenes look at what happens during surgery," says Dr. DiMarco. "It showcases our laparoscopic technique and serves as another visible example of the high level of quality of care available at PinnacleHealth."
Since Dr. DiMarco founded the program, PinnacleHealth's surgeons have completed over 1,700 bariatric procedures. PinnacleHealth, through collaboration with the Weight Loss Clinic, approaches bariatric surgery with an interdisciplinary team of professionals who offer in-depth medical evaluation, psychological screening and counseling, nutritional consultation, education and support before, during and after surgery.
