Center of Excellence
The Del Sol Bariatric Center has been designated a "Center of Excellence" by the American College of Surgeons (ACS). This esteemed designation confirms that Del Sol has provided the highest quality care in weight loss surgery and has met the essential criteria that ensures it is fully capable of supporting a bariatric surgery program and that its institutional performance meets the requirements outlined by the ACS and the Bariatric Surgery Center Network (BSCN).
This accreditation program provides confirmation that a bariatric program has demonstrated its commitment to providing the highest quality care for its surgery patients. Accredited bariatric programs such as Del Sol’s, provide not only the hospital resources necessary for optimal care of morbidly obese patients, but also the support and resources that are necessary to address the entire spectrum of care and needs for bariatric patients, from the pre-hospital assessment through the post-operative care and treatment process.
Since its opening in 2004, the Del Sol Bariatric program has grown by leaps and bounds performing more than 850 surgeries and reaching success rates far beyond the national average. The Del Sol program performs both the laparoscopic adjustable gastric band and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass procedures.
El Paso is seeing a high incidence of obesity and the diseases that accompany this condition such as diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea and joint pain. After surgery, a majority of patients are cured of these conditions.
