Welcome to Lake Health Bariatric Surgery Center
The leader of our practice, Dr. Aviv Ben-Meir, has been practicing Bariatric and General Surgery in Cleveland since 2002. In fact, he was one of the first surgeons to perform laparoscopic weight loss surgery in Cleveland and has probably been performing bariatric surgery in Cleveland for longer than any other surgeon.
He has performed well over 4000 laparoscopic bariatric operations and thousands of other general surgical operations including hiatal hernia repairs, paraesophageal hernia repairs, gallbladder removals, colon surgery and hernia surgery. He intentionally does not have resident surgeons or surgical fellows to ensure that he is performing all parts of his patients’ operations. Dr. Aviv Ben-Meir is board certified in general surgery and fellowship-trained in laparoscopic and bariatric surgery. He has devoted his career to his patients and is ready to help you take your first steps towards a healthier life.

See What We Can Do For You
Making the decision to have bariatric surgery is not easy. Most people consider surgery for several years before they decide to move forward. If you have tried to lose weight without success or have lost and gained weight over and over, weight loss surgery may be the best option for you. Choosing to have weight loss surgery is not taking the easy way out or a sign of weakness or personal failing. To the contrary, it is having the courage to acknowledge you have the medical problem of obesity and doing something to treat it.
Once you have decided to move forward with bariatric surgery, the next step is to complete our online webinar. Click the link here. Once you create a login, you will watch eight short videos of Dr. Ben-Meir discussing different aspects of the operations he performs. After you watch each video and complete the short quizzes that follow each of them, you will be asked to provide your demographic and insurance information as well as answer four health questions. We need this information to contact your insurance company to confirm your plan covers bariatric surgery. We will contact you within two weeks of you submitting your webinar and explain your next steps.
We welcome you to the Lake Health Bariatric Surgery Center.
