John Coon, MD, FACS

John Coon, MD, FACS, is a diplomate of the American Board of Surgery. After practicing general surgery for 25 years, he became fascinated by the tremendous health and psychological benefits patients achieve through surgically promoted weight loss. Thirty years after completing a fellowship in burn and trauma surgery, he completed a second fellowship in bariatric (weight loss) surgery.

Dr. Coon has since devoted his practice to weight loss surgery, treating patients surgically when diet and exercise fail. He has performed more than 2,000 abdominal laparoscopic procedures and over 200 laparoscopic bariatric weight loss surgeries. The results can be life-extending and enhancing as obesity can lead to numerous life-threatening conditions. Dr. Coon’s Lap Band® patients at The Morrow Institute enjoy a consistent level of personalized care and remarkable weight loss success.
