MIB Surgery is a surgical center in Plantation, Florida. It treats patients in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, too. Its focus is bariatric and minimally invasive surgery. Dr. Abel Bello, a board-certified general surgeon, leads the practice. The center opened in 2019.
Care centers on weight loss, acid reflux, and hernias. Patients can choose surgical or non-surgical paths. One option is the DUO procedure. This weight-loss method needs no external incisions. Surgeons perform it through the mouth with endoscopic tools. Gastric bypass and gastric sleeve surgery are available as well.
Specialists treat hiatal, inguinal, and umbilical hernias. Dr. Monica Bello provides medical obesity care at the center. She is board-certified in internal and obesity medicine. Her training took place at Cleveland Clinic's Akron General Medical Center. For robotic procedures, the clinic uses the da Vinci surgical system.
This technology helps ensure surgical precision and smaller scars. For reflux care, patients can get LINX and Stretta. Staff support both English- and Spanish-speaking patients. Virtual consultations with the surgical team are available.
