1 Bariatric Care Center 215 Outcomes Report

2 Since my surgery, my life is happier; I am happier with myself. Lisa Mark, Weight Loss Surgery Patient 2 Bariatric Care Center

3 Contents Surgical Procedure Volume 4 Quality of Care 5 Surgical Demographics 7 Surgical Percentage of Excess Body Weight Loss 9 Dear Colleagues, Surgical Comorbidity Resolution 1 I am pleased to share with you the 215 quality outcomes for the Summa Health Bariatric Care Center. As you know, obesity continues to be one of the leading causes of death in the United States, and the prevalence is not improving. Given the number of co-morbid conditions caused by obesity, this makes the work we do more important than ever. While there is not yet agreement on a single best approach to nonsurgical weight loss management, there is now consensus that the most effective and long-lasting treatment for morbid obesity is surgical weight loss intervention. Our approach to weight loss management is two-fold. We offer patients both a surgical and nonsurgical approach for successful weight loss management. Each patient is carefully assessed and provided with an individually tailored recommendation. Since starting our surgical program in 24, we have performed a total of 2,792 surgeries and have continued to expand annually, performing 412 surgeries in 215. As Summa Health continues to develop its population health strategy, weight loss management will continue to be a critical initiative for all of us. The Summa Health Bariatric Care Center can offer a successful program for any of your patients interested in losing weight. Thank you for taking the time to review our results. While cosmetic improvements are frequently a result of significant weight loss, the primary goal is to help cure our patients of the medical problems caused by their obesity and to help them reclaim their life. As always, please do not hesitate to contact me directly if you have any questions, or if you need information for your patients. Sincerely, John G. Zografakis, M.D., FACS Director, Summa Health Bariatric Care Center While we have continued to increase the number of patients we serve, our focus on creating a positive patient experience has never wavered. We are proud that our patient experience scores for both inpatient and outpatient care have placed us in the 95th percentile nationally for the past nine years. 215 Outcomes Report 3

4 Surgical Procedure Volume Volume Surgical weight loss procedures performed at Summa Health include laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding and laparoscopic revisional procedures. Our bariatric surgeons are fellowship-trained in advanced laparoscopic and weight loss surgery. Some procedures can be done using a single incision or robotic-assisted approach.

6 I used to be very limited, but now I can do anything. Gary Jentes, Weight Loss Surgery Patient 6 Bariatric Care Center

7 Surgical Demographics Demographics Candidates for a primary weight loss procedure at Summa Health range in ages from 17 to 7. These are patients with morbid obesity, with or without comorbid diseases such as type 2 diabetes, obstructive sleep apnea, hypertension and gastroesophageal reflux disease. The typical patient has usually tried many different approaches to weight loss but has been unsuccessful in sustaining weight loss. In many cases, patients also struggle with underlying issues such as binge eating, emotional eating or other behavioral health conditions which have contributed to their obesity.
