Get to know General & Bariatric Surgeon Dr. Igor Wanko Mboumi, who serves patients in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Dr. Mboumi is a respected, fellowship-trained general & bariatric surgeon. Some of the treatments and procedures that he offers include: bariatric surgery, gastric bypass surgery, gastric sleeve surgery, hernia repair surgery, and robotic-assisted surgery (DaVinci).

In affiliation with Franciscan Health, he is affiliated with Franciscan Health Weight Loss Center Indianapolis, Franciscan Physician Network Indy Southside Surgical Indianapolis & Franciscan Health Indianapolis.

He joins a team of highly skilled general surgeons and advanced practice providers, whose offices are located in Indianapolis, Indiana. The group uses the latest surgical techniques, including minimally invasive procedures for bariatric surgery, colorectal disease, and other digestive tract disorders.

A graduate of SUNY Upstate Medical School University, Dr. Mboumi completed an internship and residency in general surgery at Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine. He then performed his fellowship at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, where he received advanced training in bariatric surgery/gastrointestinal minimally invasive surgery and robotic surgery procedures.

Before long, he became board-certified in surgery by the American Board of Surgery (ABS). The ABS is an independent, non-profit organization located in Pennsylvania, founded for the purpose of certifying surgeons who have met a defined standard of education, training, and knowledge. 

General surgery is a surgical specialty that focuses on abdominal contents including the esophagus, stomach, small bowel, colon, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, appendix and bile ducts, and often the thyroid gland. A general surgeon performs a wide range of abdominal surgeries for many forms of intestinal and abdominal wall neoplasms, gallbladder disease, gastric and pancreatic disease. They follow the patient through critical care and surgical recovery all the way to outpatient care.

Bariatric surgery (or weight loss surgery) includes a variety of procedures performed on people who are obese. Long-term weight loss through Standard of Care procedures (Roux en Y Bypass, Sleeve Gastrectomy, and Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch) is largely achieved by altering gut hormone levels that are responsible for hunger and satiety, thereby leading to a new hormonal weight set point. A doctor who specializes in this type of surgery is known as a bariatric surgeon.
