About Us
Together, we will work toward one common goal, which is improving the quality of your health and life through weight loss.
Weight Loss
Our extensive weight loss surgery experience enables us to give you the proper education before, during and after surgery to make your surgery successful.
Designations
The NMMC Bariatric Center has been accredited by the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program as a Comprehensive Center since 2012.
Our facility is also designated as an American College of Surgeons (ACS) Surgical Quality Partner.
The Bariatric Center is also recognized by:
- BlueCross BlueShield Blue Distinction+ for Bariatric Surgery
- Cigna Center of Excellence
- Aetna Institutes of Quality
- Optum Bariatric Centers of Excellence Network (United Healthcare)
Our program is the only one in Mississippi to hold all of these accolades.
Because we have attained these designations, weight loss surgery at NMMC is covered by more health plans, including those for teachers, state employees and many offered by employers.
So, check your health plan benefits, talk to your doctor and weigh your options.
