The Asia-Pacific Endoscopic Metabolic and
Bariatric Surgical Center at Min-Sheng General Hospital reached a new milestone
in September when Professor Wei-Jei Lee and his team performed their 5,000th
weight loss surgery. The Center, the largest of its kind in Taiwan and one of
the leading centers in Asia, now treats on average 400 to 500 patients a year
and offers a complete range of procedures for the treatment of obesity and the
metabolic diseases often associated to it.
Since 2012, the Bariatric Center has been operating two distinct units for weight loss and diabetic patients. The team is made of surgeons, endocrinologists, cases managers, bariatric nurses, and dieticians. The Center’s reputation outside of Taiwan is now such that patients from abroad who want to undergo surgery travel to Min-Sheng. The Center also attracts foreign specialists keen to learn the latest techniques with Professor Lee and his team.
