Bariatric Surgery
Transform Your Health with Robotic Bariatric Surgery
Bariatric surgery is an effective long-term treatment for obesity. Kootenai Health is proud to offer the only robotic bariatric surgery program in Idaho. For patients, that means less pain, faster recovery and less risk of scarring and infection.
Many people who have struggled with weight-related disease have found robotic bariatric surgery to be life-changing. In addition to lasting weight loss, surgery can significantly improvement conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obstructive sleep apnea, fatty liver disease, and gastroesophageal reflux disease. It also reduces the long-term commitment and expense of GLP-1 medications.

Kootenai Health’s bariatric surgeons use advanced robotic technology for enhanced precision and control during surgery.
