Welcome to Central Baptist Weight Loss Surgery Center

Welcome to the Central Baptist Weight Loss Surgery Center Website! We are very excited to offer the most comprehensive weight loss surgery program in Central Kentucky. 

Our Mission, as is the Central Baptist Hospital Mission, is to enhance the physical and spiritual health of the people we serve by providing quality and compassionate health services consistent with our Christian heritage. Our values: Integrity, Hospitality, Partnership, Stewardship and Excellence, haven’t changed either. Your journey with the Central Baptist Hospital Weight Loss Surgery Center simply begins away from the main hospital campus, in Hamburg at 2716 Old Rosebud Road Suite 351, conveniently located off the major interstates. All surgeries are still performed on the main campus, located at 1740 Nicholasville Road in Lexington, KY.

Our Surgeons, Dr. G. Derek Weiss and Dr. John S. Oldham, Jr. of Bluegrass Bariatric Surgical Associates are two of the foremost minimally invasive bariatric surgeons in the country and are now affiliated with Central Baptist Hospital and Baptist Physician’s Surgery Center. At Central Baptist Hospital, Dr. Weiss and Dr. Oldham perform the Laparascopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass procedure, the Laparascopic Sleeve Gastrectomy procedure, and the Laparascopic Adjustable Gastric Banding procedure. We also offer the first incisionless surgery for weight regain after bypass surgery, known as the ROSE procedure.

At Central Baptist Hospital, you know that we have the best specialists to care for you, in any situation. As Central Kentucky’s first accreditated Chest Pain Center and first Non-teaching Magnet Status Hospital, we can provide the level of care that weight loss surgery patients have been waiting for. Central Baptist Hospital's Primary Stroke Center has earned the Gold Seal of Approval (TM) for health care quality.  The Joint Commission awarded Central Baptist Hospital Disease Specific Care Certification for the care of stroke patients.  Whatever your needs, or the needs of your family, we can provide the excellent, compassionate care you have come to associate with Central Baptist Hospital. We want to welcome you to the new Central Baptist Hospital Weight Loss Surgery Center, This is Care.
