After graduating medical school at the Medical College of Ohio, followed by his residency in general surgery at Ochsner Hospital in New Orleans Dr. Thomas Lavin started specializing in bariatric surgeries. Helping people was his childhood dream and the bariatric surgical field gave him the opportunity to offer obese people, who are struggling with weight issues and associated health conditions, solutions to lose their excess weight and start a better, healthier life.
Dr. Thomas E. Lavin is widely known for his work in the field of bariatric surgery and is counted among the the first surgeons to adopt and continuously perfect a revolutionary incisionless weight loss surgery called the POSE, primary obesity surgery endoluminal. The field of laparoscopy, provided medical tools and interventions that made bariatric surgeries as safe as they are today. The continuous evolution of medical technologies, provide surgeons new set of skills and along with enhanced dexterity, that ultimately contribute to safer interventions, faster recovery times and less scaring for patients and Dr. Lavin is on the forefront of adopting and supporting minimally invasive surgeries.
