Sanjeev Rajpal, MD, FACS, Ravi K. Kothuru, MD, Syed Imran Ahmed, MD, and Prem Patel, MD, are board-certified surgeons who together comprise the medical team of Advanced Bariatric Care. This state-of-the-art facility has been named a bariatric surgery Center of Excellence by the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery. As part of the Brookdale University Hospital and Medical Center, Advanced Bariatric Care is widely recognized for unsurpassed patient care and a multi-disciplinary, individualized approach to weight loss surgery.

The highly skilled and compassionate weight loss surgeons of Advanced Bariatric Care specialize in Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and adjustable gastric banding with Lap Band. Both procedures restrict the amount of food that can be consumed, thereby inducing significant weight loss in most patients. The surgeons of Advanced Bariatric Care perform laparoscopic weight loss surgery, which involves several small incisions and the use of a small camera (laparoscope). This approach promotes faster recovery and minimizes the possibility of hernia, a complication that occurs in about 10 percent of patients who undergo the open approach (one long incision).
All weight loss procedures at Advanced Bariatric Care are performed at the Brookdale University Hospital and Medical Center, one of the largest non-profit teaching hospitals in Brooklyn. In addition to the advanced bariatric procedures and techniques, Advanced Bariatric Care offers a comprehensive weight loss program, starting with preoperative nutritional counseling. Postoperative care includes monthly medical monitoring as well as psychological counseling and support groups.
To schedule a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Rajpal, Dr. Kothuru, Dr, Ahmed or Dr. Patel and learn more about your weight loss options, please contact Advanced Bariatric Care at (800) 565-4217.
