Welcome to the official website of Dr. William A. Graber and Dr. Matthew A. Fitzer and the Bariatric Surgery Program at Faxton-St. Luke’s Healthcare.

In 2002, Dr. Graber founded the weight-loss surgery program in response to community need. We have now treated more than 1,400 patients with weight-loss surgery at our St. Luke’s Campus, where we offer both laparoscopic gastric bypass and the LAP-BAND procedure. Our Bariatric Surgery Program has successfully met the standards set forth by the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS), and has been recognized as a Center of Excellence by the ASMBS, Excellus BlueCross/BlueShield, MVP Healthcare, the National BlueCross/BlueShield Association, and the Ontario Ministry of Health, Canada.

If you are severely overweight and have been unable to lose weight even with dieting and exercise, weight-loss surgery could be your next step. We would be happy to consult with you to discuss the surgeries and options, and to help you on your way toward losing weight and becoming healthier.

Patient Login Information

Whether you’re an existing or new patient, Dr. Graber and Dr. Fitzer’s secure patient website gives you both the ease of home access and the protection and privacy you would expect from visiting the office in person.

This new submission program is currently a work in progress, and you may encounter a minor glitch here and there. If this happens, simply contact our office and we will be happy to help: (315) 624-4740. Rest assured, however, that the program is completely private and secure.

Our secure patient website allows you to contact our office with any questions or changes to your medical history from home. Click on the link above and use your secure username and password to keep Dr. Graber and Dr. Fitzer up to date on your progress, any problems, and your overall wellness.

New Patient Registration

Dr. Graber and Dr. Fitzer offer existing and new patients the ability to provide medical information over this secure Internet site so they can monitor your wellness and have a better overall picture of your health before you come in for routine checkups and diagnosis. The registration process is simple: register once, and then call our office at (315) 624-4740 to verify registration and let us check your baseline data. After your consultation with the surgeon, we’ll set you up to permanently access the site. If you make any mistakes, it’s not a problem; you’ll just have to call the office and have your site re-set, so you can re-enter your data.

Please complete the brief registration process in one sitting; you are not able to log in and out until we activate your account.

Again, this site is secure and password-protected, and only you and the doctors have access to your personal data. When you update your history, try to be as accurate as possible, but don’t worry about being precise. Estimates on dates and weights are good enough. The doctors are just trying to build as accurate a picture of your overall health history as possible.
