Advanced Surgical and Weight Loss Institute provides patient-centered robotic, general, and bariatric surgical care, with a focus on helping people regain their health and confidence. Led by Dr. Diego Velarde, a fellowship-trained, board-certified surgeon, the practice supports patients from initial consultation through surgery and long-term follow-up.

Its services include bariatric procedures designed to support lasting weight loss and improved health; general surgery for a range of abdominal, colorectal, and digestive conditions; and robotic surgery using the da Vinci® Surgical System. The technology provides 3D visualization and enhanced precision, enabling minimally invasive procedures with smaller incisions and the potential for smoother, faster recovery. The practice also offers procedures such as hernia repair, gallbladder removal, endoscopy, and colonoscopy, as reflected in patient experiences.

The institute emphasizes comprehensive guidance, clear explanations, and compassionate care throughout treatment. Patients can request consultations and access resources including insurance and billing information, patient forms, FAQs, support and education, and health articles.
