CER Bariatrics:
Where Science Meets
Compassion in Transforming Lives
At CER Hospital Boutique, we didn’t just launch another bariatric program—we engineered a transformation pathway grounded in science, trust, and human connection. Patients from around the world choose CER Bariatrics because we blend evidence-based medicine with personalized care, always evolving to become the most reliable solution for long-term health.
Why We Created CER Bariatrics
The CER Bariatrics program was born from a bold question: How can we offer a surgical solution that respects the biology, psychology, and lifestyle of each patient? Backed by our hospital’s multidisciplinary leadership, we created a protocol that integrates metabolic science, surgical excellence, and compassionate follow-up. Our aim? To make obesity a solvable condition, not a lifelong struggle.
A Hospital of Trust
Every element of CER Hospital Boutique—from the ICU to the private suites—was built to foster trust and safety. Our team of board-certified surgeons, nutritionists, psychologists, and coordinators is committed to one truth: our patients are not just cases—they are partners in a shared journey. The result? A 5-star satisfaction rating and one of the highest success rates in the region.

What sets CER Bariatrics apart is our unrelenting drive to learn. We analyze our outcomes, challenge our assumptions, and incorporate the latest research in obesity treatment. From enhanced recovery protocols to advanced laparoscopic techniques, our team is constantly redefining what it means to be a bariatric center of excellence.

Came from Kansas City MO on a referral from a friend who had the surgery last year. Very clean hospital. Dr Carlos was great. Surgery and after care were fantastic. My only complaint would be the timing. I had to quit drinking water at 8 pm the night prior, so I was dehydrated by 3 pm when they did IVS and it took 4 tries.
