Gastric Bypass Surgery Windsor, Ontario

Even though 4,500 people each year need weight-loss surgery in Windsor, Ontario, only 200 of these surgeries were performed there in 2004. That means if you rely on the Canadian health care system, you could be waiting for years to receive the gastric bypass surgery you need as soon as possible. Luckily, Elliot R. Goodman, MD at Beth Israel Medical Center in New York City might be ready to take you in just a few months. You may be worried that Canadian Health Departments won't pay for your surgery if it's performed in the United States, but that often isn't true. Beth Israel can even help you figure out whether you qualify for reimbursement from Canadian Health Departments and also help fill out the necessary paperwork.

Beth Israel generally performs the Roux-en-Y form of gastric bypass, but is also ready to perform several others, drawing from its deep and historic well of skill and experience. Dr. Goodman and the other board-certified staff at Beth Israel can also treat problems that have resulted from weight-loss surgery at other medical centers.

Additional procedures that Dr. Goodman can help with include:

- Eating Disorders
- Stomach Surgery
- Laparoscopic Surgery
- Bariatric Surgery
- Weight Management
- Nutritional Requirements
- Minimally Invasive Gastric Surgery
