Weight loss surgery reshapes Iowa hospital programs

The Gazette reports a mixed picture for bariatric care at University Hospitals and nearby centers. Dr. Isaac Samuel preserves the program despite past suspensions after infections and deaths, while UI revives its effort with a second surgeon and dedicated staff. Mercy Cedar Rapids stopped the procedure while St. Luke's continues. Insurance drives much of the change.

Gastric bypass is the common bariatric procedure creating a small pouch and rerouting the small intestine to limit calories absorbed. St Luke’s surgeries fell from 58 in 2002 and 2008 to 20 in 2004 and nine last year while insurers use centers of excellence as guides rather than mandates.
