If diet and exercise haven’t provided the results you need, the team from The Hospitals of Providence Weight Loss Center can determine if you’re a good candidate for our surgical and non-surgical weight loss options. Obesity can cause problems beyond simply carrying around extra weight. It may lead to a wide range of health conditions — from heart disease and high blood pressure to depression, infertility and joint problems. Surgical weight loss not only helps you lose a significant amount of weight, but it can also help make you significantly healthier, possibly adding years to your life.

We specialize in gastric bypass and gastric sleeve procedures as well as the non-surgical options to include the placement of the Orbera Balloon system. We also provide resources and support to help patients take control of their obesity and regain their health.

MBSAQIPOur comprehensive 13-week program includes a range of resources before surgery, plus access to post-operative care, support groups, nutritional counseling, discounted gym membership rates and more. We also offer a new mobile app with diet and exercise tracking tools and tips, access to a dietitian, and the ability to track your weight loss progress.

Weight loss surgery is generally designed for those with a body mass index (BMI) equal to or greater than 40, or equal to or greater than 35 with serious co-morbidities. Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding is also FDA-approved for weight loss surgery in people with a BMI of 30 to 35 who have at least one obesity-related condition. Weight loss surgery is considered safe, but like many types of surgery, it does have risks. Consult with your physician about the risks and benefits of weight loss surgery.
