About MeDr. Louis Balsama helped established Kennedy's Bariatric Program in 2007, along with Dr. Marc Neff. In October 2009, Dr. Balsama performed the first single incision (SILS™) gastric LAP-BAND® weight-loss procedure at Kennedy. For many years, he served as Assistant Professor of Surgery at UMDNJ-School of Osteopathic Medicine, also serving as Moderator for the medical school's Surgical Morbidity and Mortality Conference. A South Jersey native, Dr. Balsama graduated from UMDNJ-SOM in 1999, completing his Residency at Lehigh Valley Hospital in Allentown, PA, in 2005. As an avid runner and Boston Marathon qualifier, Dr. Balsama encourages and inspires his bariatric surgery patients to take an active role in their weight-loss journey through physical activity and a healthy diet.

My first impression of Dr. Balsama was a bit bittersweet, I had an appointment (my first appointment) and on the way to my appointment I received a call that Dr. Balsama was tied up at the hospital and that my appointment had to be rescheduled More...
TysCandi on Dec. 28, 2011Doctor Balsama is great. I have had no issues since being released from the hospital. However, I did have severely low blood pressure and he and his team ran every test under the sun to make sure I would be ok.
