If you’re struggling with obesity and its complications after trying several diets, weight loss surgery may be right for you. We want to help you succeed in reaching a healthy weight, and surgery is just one step in the process.

Lehigh Valley Hospital’s Weight Management Center surgeons have been performing weight loss surgery in the region longer than any other surgeons and offering minimally invasive surgery since 2000. Our comprehensive surgery program includes medically supervised pre- and post operative education and support.

Our highly experienced, board-certified surgeons have completed more than 1,160 weight loss operations in that time, dramatically changing the lives of persons who had suffered from obesity and the medical conditions it often causes. Our team of experts gives you the surgical option to lose weight and keep it off.

Our services don’t end when you have had surgery and achieved your desired, healthy weight. Our long-term weight maintenance, relapse-prevention programs and peer-support groups help you deal with the underlying cause of your obesity and ongoing struggles with it, so you stay at a healthy weight.

If you are ready to embark on a safe and healthy path to weight loss through surgery, we’re here to help. We invite you to attend a free introductory session to learn more about how you can begin the road to the New You.
