Discover Central Kentucky’s most comprehensive bariatric surgery program

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 Center of Excellence Surgeons, Dr. G. Derek Weiss and  Dr. John S. Oldham, Jr. of Bluegrass Bariatric Surgical Associates are  among the  foremost minimally invasive bariatric surgeons in the country, if not the world.  Bluegrass Bariatric Surgeons perform the Laparascopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass, the Laparascopic Adjustable Gastric Banding (lap band or Realize band surgery), and are the most experienced Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy surgeons in Central Kentucky.  Our surgeons also offer the first incisionless surgery for weight regain after bypass surgery, known as the ROSE procedure.

Our program is comprehensive;  we provide the support, guidance, education and encouragement  before you make the decision to have surgery and long after you've had surgery.  We are here for you.

To learn more about your Kentucky lap band surgery, REALIZE band surgery, Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass and Sleeve Gastrectomy options, please attend a free seminar at our Lexington, KY location today!
