Our surgeons at BASS Medical Group have been performing bariatric surgery since 2002. They have performed more than 900 operations and our patients have had excellent results. Our patients have lost more weight than the national average and our complication rate is significantly lower. Our surgeons’ experience, teamwork, and attention to detail have helped to ensure successful outcomes for our patients.
Currently, our two surgeons performing weight loss surgery are Dr. Brian Chin and Dr. Jason Moy. Both are expert laparoscopic surgeons with fellowship training in bariatric surgery and all aspects of advanced minimally invasive surgery. They both dedicate a significant portion of their practices to bariatric surgery to ensure they maintain the highest skill level in bariatrics and stay abreast of the latest developments in the field. At the same time, they maintain an interest and practice in the full range of minimally invasive surgery, to ensure their skills remain well-rounded and broad.
They are dedicated to a safe and successful outcome for you, by performing technically excellent operations, and by paying careful attention to your specific needs and care throughout the entire process. Our surgeons conduct a detailed, multi-disciplinary preoperative evaluation on all patients considering surgery. They will see you post operatively on a regular basis for the first year after surgery, and every year for life. We want to make sure you continue to do well for the long term, and we want to share in your success by seeing how well you are doing!
Our surgeons offer all of the standard operations currently being performed for weight loss, including laparoscopic roux-en-Y gastric bypass, laparoscopic vertical gastrectomy (sleeve gastrectomy), laparoscopic adjustable gastric band, and laparoscopic duodenal switch. In certain situations, our surgeons may recommend one of these operations as the best option for you, but in most cases, the patient is able to choose which operation to have after discussing the options with one of our surgeons. We also perform revisional bariatric surgery on a case-by-case basis.

My name is Denise. I started my weight-loss journey in December of 2014 by visiting Dr. Chin. It was ten months of doctors’ appointments, weigh-ins, and medical tests. But I was focused and determined. Finally, my surgery date came. I was sleeved in October 2015, and it was the best decision I have ever made for myself. I was 57 years old at the time. I asked my surgeon, Dr. Chin, if I was too old for the surgery, and he said, “No one is too old to get healthy.” He was so very right. I was 310 pounds at my heaviest, pre-surgery. I was pre-diabetic, and had high blood pressure. My back, knees, and ankles hurt most of the time, and I was always short of breath. Those were just the medical conditions I had because of my weight. I was self-conscious and depressed. I was very unhappy. Surgery was a piece of cake (no pun intended). I was walking on the treadmill within two days. Soon, I was amazed at the transformation I was having, both in my weight loss and with my attitude towards food. As the weight loss kept happening, I was gaining my health back. I am no longer on blood pressure medicine, and I am no longer pre-diabetic. My knees, back, and ankles don’t hurt anymore because I am not carrying so much weight. I can walk and move around without being short of breath. My confidence has returned, and I am so much happier now that I am 100 pounds lighter. I swim a mile five days a week, and walk three to four miles every day, and I enjoy it. There are so many accomplishments that have come from losing weight like shopping in the regular size section, fitting in any chair, crossing my legs, not having to ask for an extension on the airplane, and the list goes on. The only regret I have is not having this surgery sooner. I would like to thank Dr. Chin and all of the staff involved in my life saving/changing surgery.
Dr. Chin and all the staff were amazing. I had my gastric sleeve surgery in August 2021, and I have lost 70 lbs in the last 7 months. It’s the best thing I could have done for my health and myself. It requires mental determination and strength, but it’s totally worth it. Everyone treated me with respect, patience, and compassion after my surgery. Their level of professionalism and care was outstanding. If you are looking for a good surgeon who will do the surgery right, Dr. Chin is the one. You won’t regret it.
Update: It’s been 2 ½ years since my surgery, and I’ve lost about 95 lbs. I continue to go every 6 months to see Dr. Chin to keep myself in check and maintain my weight. He has also used my weight-loss story as a success story on YouTube. I’ve met people who have seen my video and success, and I love to encourage them by reminding them that you have to train your mind for success! You can see the pictures before and after! Trust me when I say this—it’s not an easy process, but it’s truly life-changing as long as you set your mind to it!
Doctors and Nurses are very friendly, knowledgeable, and patient. They explained everything in advance and answered all of my questions. I am so glad I chose Bass Bariatric Surgery Center!
I’m disabled, so I found BASS Medical Group and Dr. Chin through the Medicare website. Insurance is so tricky. Dr. Chin is amazing—he takes real pride in helping people transform and become healthy. I’ve seen it, and I’m living it. The gastric sleeve is the best tool you can ever give yourself to help lose it and keep the weight off. Everyone is different, but for me, in 2 years I lost a total of 179 lbs, and it feels great! Dr. Chin saved my life and helped transform me into a healthy person. I couldn’t be more grateful! Thanks, Dr. Chin.
