Center for Bariatric Surgery

Obesity is a debilitating disease that affects much more than your waistline. It’s a physical, emotional and social burden. For many, morbid obesity has become a way of life, something that diets, medication and exercise cannot change. There is an answer: weight loss surgery.

Our experienced surgical weight loss team has helped more than 6,500 patients lose more than 650,000 pounds – and counting. The American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery has recognized St. Vincent Charity Hospital as a Center of Excellence for our record of quality, safety and outcomes.
