Robust support
We emphasize patient education, so you feel fully informed about your weight-loss options. We offer support groups and one-on-one sessions with members of our team.
For people who choose weight-loss surgery, our team of patient navigators provide assistance throughout your journey to keep you on track. Before your procedure, you will work with a patient navigator to assure you are prepared for surgery. Then, our post-surgery navigator will help you adjust to your new lifestyle and so you can get the best results and achieve your goals.

LVHN is home to one of the nation’s busiest bariatric surgery centers, performing more than 800 surgeries per year across our network. Our bariatric surgery team is the largest in the region and has performed more than 5,000 total surgeries in the past 15 years.

Our expert team also performs revision surgeries for patients, including surgeries to convert from a gastric band to a different type of procedure. Together, we help people live healthy, active lives.
