Dr. James Wallace is the director of the the Bariatric Surgery Program at Froedtert & The Medical College of Wisconsin, which offers eligible patients both the Roux Y gastric bypass surgery and the laparascopic adjustable gastric band surgery. The program's multidisciplinary approach addresses all aspects of health — including psychological and medically related conditions — before, during and after surgery.

Our care begins months before surgery is scheduled to prepare patients and guide them through dramatic changes in their overall health. And this care continues through the months and years following surgery, to keep patients on course. Additionally, our program has been carefully designed and configured to provide the highest level of comfort and dignity.

Dr. Wallace attended medical school at Wayne State University School of Medicine in Detroit, where he also completed his residency. He went on to complete a fellowship in Trauma & Burns at Albany Medical Center in Albany, NY, where he also earned a doctorate in Philosophy. Dr. Wallace joined the Medical College of Wisconsin in 1992 and is the Director of the Bariatric Surgery Program.
