New York's Upstate University Hospital to Relocate Central New York Bariatric Surgery Center

Upstate University Hospital in Syracuse, N.Y., has moved its Central New York Bariatric Surgery Center to its community campus to keep up with patient demand, according to a Greater Binghamton Business Journal report.

The bariatric surgery center is now housed in 4,500 square feet of space at the Physician's Office Building in Onondaga. It had been in 1,800 square feet at the Institute for Human Performance in Syracuse.

Upstate expects the center to perform 500 bariatric surgeries this year, the most since it opened in 2002. The center's surgical offerings include laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and gastric-sleeve resection surgeries.
