Our Bariatric Center

MTMC held the grand opening of the MTMC Bariatric Center in January of 2007. The Bariatric Program at Saint Thomas Rutherford Hospital is one of the most comprehensive weight loss surgery programs in the country, providing patients with two proven surgical options that can correct metabolic deficiencies.

Relocating Saint Thomas Rutherford Hospital’s Bariatric program to a freestanding center gives Saint Thomas Rutherford Hospital the ability to meet and exceed patient’s expectations. Patients are able to see the surgeon, the nurse coordinator, the insurance specialist, and the dietitian, all in one location. The convenience of having the bariatric team under one roof means better care, right here.

The Bariatric Program at Saint Thomas Rutherford Hospital provides a variety of weight loss procedures to assist in the treatment of morbid obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, arthritis, asthma, acid reflux, infertility, and high cholesterol.

These bariatric procedures include the Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass and Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy.

Do I Qualify For Bariatric Surgery?

Because weight loss surgery is still “considered” cosmetic surgery, it can be excluded from insurance plans that are self-funded by the employer. Tell an insulin-dependent diabetic that now takes no diabetic medication after bariatric surgery that it is cosmetic surgery and see your response! I tell patients in my seminar that we do not do surgery so you look better and feel better. We do weight loss surgery so you live longer and live better. In keeping with the ASMBS position statement for low BMI patients, we believe the 1991 NIH criteria that insurance companies use to determine who qualifies for weight loss surgery is out-dated. We also agree that obesity is a chronic disease and that earlier intervention is associated with greater long term success. Therefore, we will provide the appropriate self-funding candidate a surgical option for BMI >30 with co-morbidities, especially with a strong family history of diabetes or metabolic syndrome. All of our insurance candidates must have a BMI of 35.

I had surgery with Dr. Westmoreland and my whole experience from start to finish was FANTASTIC!!! I did not meet one person on his team that I did not love! His assistant Susan was very patient with me as I called often and bugged her with many questions! Lol She was always helpful and pleasant! I also enjoyed my one hour consult with Whitney and can't wait to continue working with her in the future!
