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 Medical Center as a Center of Excellence for our record of quality, safety and outcomes.

Looking for Answers?

Before their surgeries and dramatic weight loss, all 6,500 of our patients shared many of your same concerns, fears and questions. Which is why our comprehensive program is built around providing answers before and after surgery. Watch the stories of our own patients—Kathy, Lois, Paul, Michelle and Monica—to hear how the Center for Bariatric Surgery at St. Vincent Charity Medical Center gave them a start to a new life!

Explore the links in this section to find the answers you need to start your journey to better health. For even more information, consider attending one of our free seminars led by one of our nationally recognized bariatric surgeons, Dr. Aviv Ben-Meir.
