The Surgery You NEED, Completely PAID FOR BY Lantern

We are proud Lantern (formally known as SurgeryPlus) providers. With this program, your workplace can cover surgery not covered in a traditional plan, including operations like bariatric surgery.

At B+A Medical Center, we believe that everyone should have access to the care they need.

Your workplace might not cover the surgeries that you really need, but with the help of the Lantern (SurgeryPlus) program, you can receive access to the treatments, procedures, and surgeries that can help you live a happier, more comfortable life.

Due to their expertise and excellent outcomes, Dr. Nicole Basa and Dr. Alan Abando, are a part of a select group of Lantern (SurgeryPlus) providers, and are the only providers in the Austin area.

This process covers more than just the surgery. If you have any travel expenses, including Uber rides and hotel rooms, Lantern (SurgeryPlus) can cover that too.

What is Bariatric Surgery?

According to the National Institutes of Health, almost half of all American adults (42.4%) struggle with obesity. Bariatric surgery is an option for those Americans who want to lose weight and live a healthier lifestyle.

Bariatric surgery is a term for any kind of weight loss surgery. Bariatric surgery may include procedures like sleeve gastrectomies, gastric bypasses and duodenal switches. These procedures are designed to treat your metabolism for noticeable results.

Why Choose Bariatric Surgery?

Bariatric surgery is the only treatment that shows long-term efficacy and durability compared to medical weight loss and medications alone. Patients won’t have to worry about going back and forth between their current weight and their target weight.

At B+A Medical Center, we think that it’s important for people to be able to make positive changes to their health. And the SurgeryPlus program allows more people to gain access to life-changing procedures, regardless of their present circumstances.
