The Hickory Surgical Clinic’s Surgical Weight Loss Program has recently been designated by Blue Cross & Blue Shield of North Carolina as a Center of Excellence for Weight Loss Surgery. We are one of only a few centers in the state of North Carolina with this distinction, and as of this date we are the only BCBS Center of Excellence in Western North Carolina. Please visit our Weight Loss Surgery page for more information about our Surgical Weight Loss Program, including information about laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery and Lap-Band surgery.
