Outpatient surgery venture opens in Charlotte
NewHope Bariatrics has launched an outpatient weight-loss surgery venture with Dr. David Voellinger, a Charlotte physician who was the first to perform Lap-Band surgery in the Charlotte area.
Voellinger will perform Lap-Band outpatient procedures at the local offices of Surgical Care Affiliates. The procedure is performed laparoscopically, typically in less than one hour, and patients return home the same day. Unlike a gastric bypass procedure, use of the band is adjustable and reversible.
