Thomas Walsh Bariatric Surgeon M.D.

As a general surgeon, Dr. Tom Walsh performed hundreds of operations on overweight and obese patients with diabetes, hypertension and high cholesterol. These patients would return to him for additional procedures as their conditions worsened, sharing their anguish over their inability to lose weight. He was compelled to find a surgical solution. Through exhaustive research, he and Dr. Dasher determined that the innovative techniques, Sleeve Gastric Bypass, Sleeve Gastrectomy, Rouen-y Gastric Bypass and gastric banding, were the best options for their patients. After extensive training, they began performing the Mini Gastric Bypass procedure in 2002. While Dr. Walsh continues to be pleased by the levels of weight loss achieved and maintained by his patients, it is the cure rates for their weight-related chronic conditions that bring him the most gratification. “The dramatic impact of this surgery is a completely different future for my patient. The metabolic changes bring immediate weight loss, as well as the cure to diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol and so many other weight-related problems." “My patients recoup decades of active life that otherwise would have been lost without the benefits of this procedure. They can’t believe how healthy they’ve become”
