Today, bariatric surgery is considered the safest and most effective treatment to combat obesity and relieve many of its dangerous comorbidities.

A determining factor in the evolution of Bariatric Surgery has been the Centers of Excellence program; originally conceived by the American Society for Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery and developed and managed by Surgical Review Corporation (SRC).

The ultimate goal of the Centers of Excellence program is to promote a culture of continuous improvement in order to offer patients the most advanced healthcare, within facilities that comply with the highest technical and human standards.

A fact of great significance is that since the establishment of the program, the morbidity and mortality rates associated with bariatric surgery have decreased significantly; shifting the way both the medical community and patients view the procedure and its safety.

LIMARP was one of the first accredited Centers of Excellence in Obesity outside the United States by SRC.

For a period of over two years, medical experts examined LIMARP’s processes and after obtaining favorable results, we were designated as one of the first accredited Centers of Excellence in Obesity outside the United States by SRC. The 10 facets that were evaluated to ensure our standards were:

– Institutional Commitment to Excellence

– Surgical Experience

– Designated Medical Director

– Consultative Services

– Equipment and Instruments

– Surgeon Dedication and Qualified Call Coverage

– Clinical Pathways and Standardized Operating Procedures

– Surgical Team and Support Staff

– Patient Education

When it comes to Centers of Excellence in Obesity accredited by SRC, the word “excellence” is not used as a mere adjective; it describes the fact that the most rigorous accreditation process has been passed, so patients may have the peace of mind of knowing they are in the most capable hands.
