    Weight Loss Surgery with Dr. Fitzer in Herndon, Virginia

    Bariatric surgery is one of the most demanding surgical disciplines, both technically and intellectually. It’s not the type of work that a surgeon can dabble in and expect to do well with excellent patient outcomes. -Dr. Fitzer

    With compassion and surgical precision, Dr. Matthew Fitzer has performed thousands of laparoscopic weight loss surgery procedures. He is a strong advocate for the bariatric community in combating the disease of obesity and the accompanying co-morbid conditions.

    Dr. Fitzer performs all of the major weight-loss surgery operations, focusing on three types of bariatric surgeries including the Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass, the Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy, and the Adjustable Gastric Band. As a highly-skilled surgeon, he also performs complex bariatric revision surgeries assisting patients with weight regain or complications from their initial surgery.
