How timely to have our logo go up on Thanksgiving Day💫
The Chicago Institute of Advanced Surgery, and the American Bariatric Centers, are THANKFUL to all our patients for putting their faith in our surgeons, physicians, and associates, to help them through the often difficult journey of healing🙏

To eliminate suffering is a gift, and more so, a privilege 🙌

I am very proud to see our fellows Sasha and Chris graduate from the leadership academy of the American Society of metabolic and bariatric surgery.

Being an educator has been the top privilege of my career🙌

Academic surgery can live and thrive outside big buildings and famous universities.

Chicago Institute of Advanced Surgery is proud of our fellow Dr. Chris Bargoud who was awarded Best Fellow Presentation at the Midwest Bariatric Summit last week in Chicago.

Dr. Bargoud, Dr. Sasha Thiel and Dr. Peter Habib looked at the effect of the socioeconomics on the durability of weight loss after bariatric surgery. This is part of our holistic approach to obesity and it’s treatment.

Another strong showing for CIAS at the American College of Surgeons in Chicago last week.
From applying innovation, to planning revisions, and managing complications, our surgeons were present to teach and learn, so we make care accessible and optional 💪
