Marina Del Rey Hospital in Los Angeles is an acute care hospital offering general acute care medical services and emergency care. LA Bariatrics, the bariatric surgery program at Marina Del Rey Hospital, offers patients weight loss surgery options. To become a Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence, LA Bariatrics must perform at least 125 bariatric surgeries each year; each individual doctor must perform at least 50 surgeries annually and must have performed at least 125 in his or her lifetime. Jeremy Korman, surgeon and Medical Director at LA Bariatrics has successfully performed over 1,000 bariatric surgeries. The lap band surgery was designed as a laparoscopic procedure. This means that instead of making a large abdominal incision, the doctor makes small incisions, through which he inserts a camera and specially designed instruments. These instruments allow the surgeon to perform surgeries very precisely while causing much less trauma to the patient’s body.
