The Bariatric Surgery Center | Jackson South specializes in the laparoscopic gastric sleeve procedure, one of the newest and most successful bariatric procedures. Also known as laparoscopic surgery, minimally invasive techniques enable most patients to recover more quickly and experience less pain, with less risk for blood loss and infection. The center is home to Moises Jacobs, MD, FACS and Eddie Gomez, MD, FACS, FASMBS, two pioneering bariatric surgeons who, between them, have authored articles on the gastric sleeve procedure, hold several bariatric patents, and train hundreds of surgeons every year.
