Imagine having a weight-loss procedure and being able to sleep in your own bed the same night - no hospital stay required. It’s possible at one of New York Bariatric Group’s specialized Ambulatory Surgical Centers (ASC).

What is an Ambulatory Surgical Center (ASC)?

An ASC is a modern healthcare facility designed exclusively for same-day surgical procedures. ASCs are equipped with state-of-the-art technology and staffed by highly trained medical professionals to provide patients with a comfortable and efficient alternative to traditional hospital-based surgery.

Benefits of Ambulatory Surgical Centers

  • Go Home the Same Day: Overnight stays are not required for ASC-eligible procedures. Patients have their medical procedure and leave the same day after recovery and return to the comfort of their own home.
  • Dedicated Staff: Your care team is trained and focused solely on the procedures that NYBG offers. Patients will not only receive the best care from expert providers while at the ASC, but they will be surrounded by those who truly care about the continued weight-loss journeys of each patient.
  • Cost-Effectiveness: Compared to hospital-based surgery, ASC procedures typically incur lower expenses for both patients and insurers. By focusing solely on outpatient care, ASCs streamline operations, which translates into savings for patients without compromising on quality.
  • Reduced Infection Risk: ASCs adhere to rigorous infection control protocols. In contrast to a hospital setting, outpatient facilities have fewer patients, automatically reducing the likelihood of contracting diseases. This setting offers a lower-risk alternative to hospital stays and provides peace of mind for patients seeking surgical care.
  • Fully-Equipped Facilities: ASCs are equipped with advanced medical technology and state-of-the-art equipment. From cutting-edge operating rooms to comprehensive recovery areas, ASCs provide everything necessary for a successful surgical experience in a comfortable and convenient setting.
  • Convenience and Accessibility: ASCs offer unparalleled convenience and accessibility for patients. ASCs eliminate the hassle of navigating large hospitals and parking garages, allowing for a stress-free experience from start to finish.

What to Expect at Our Ambulatory Surgery Center

When you choose one of New York Bariatric Group’s ASCs for your surgical needs, you can expect a personalized, high-quality experience at every step. Our three free-standing facilities boast state-of-the-art operating rooms and recovery areas designed to facilitate a smooth and comfortable recovery process. Here's what you can expect during your visit:

Professional and Welcoming Environment: Our ASCs provide a professional yet relaxed environment for surgical care. From the moment you arrive, you'll be greeted by our friendly staff and guided through each step of the process with care and attention to detail.

Recovery Period: After completing your procedure, you'll spend time in one of our dedicated recovery spaces. During this time, our medical team will monitor your vital signs and ensure you're ready to safely return home with a friend or family member.

Assessment and Consultation: Before scheduling your surgery at one of our ASCs, we'll conduct a thorough assessment of your health and medical history to determine your eligibility for outpatient surgery. While most patients are suitable candidates for ASC procedures, we'll work closely with you to ensure the best possible outcome based on your individual needs.

Everybody treated me like a king. The day of surgery, I was excited. The hospital couldn’t be any nicer. I went in for surgery. An hour later, I came out a new man. My recovery was awesome.

Nicole's success story

I hit my goal weight ... and I feel fabulous

5.0

I had the gastric bypass. I am Type 2 Diabetic and I wanted to gain control of my sugar. I hit my goal weight in about 5 and half months and I feel fabulous. The procedure has completely changed my life for the better because it has empowered me as a middle aged woman that I can really do everything and anything that I want to do. I don't put an age on anything. I don't say I'm too old for something.

Robert's success story

I was tired of the way I looked. I was tired of the way I felt.

5.0

I knew if I didn't change something soon, I was going to be in a lot of trouble. The consultation process was a lot easier than I expected. I was met with open arms. I was treated like I was the only patient here. Not only did they answer all of my questions, they had questions for me to make sure I was the right candidate for the surgery. After surgery and that weight started dropping off, my life started changing for the better.

I had the gastric sleeve procedure. The driving factor behind me getting this procedure was my health. I didn't feel good physically or mentally. I had joint pains, even standing was difficult sometimes. Emotionally, this surgery completely turned my life around. I have so much more confidence. So much more happiness. I feel like a completely different person. I feel stronger. I feel able to accomplish more.

Eileen's success story

It saved my life.

5.0

The driving factor behind me getting my procedure was that I couldn't get up off the floor with my granddaughter. That was my why. That was my big reason for having this surgery done. After surgery, it was a little bit of a struggle with what to eat. What you put in your mouth that you don't even think about. You don't think about what you're eating or how you're eating and portion size. It's what I do now every single day. The procedure has changed my life in so many ways. It saved my life.

I think I always grew up identifying myself as less than other people because I was fat. I decided to tackle that and just live my life. I had a sleeve gastrectomy. It changed how I view myself.
