OSU Bariatric Surgery & Other

We understand the struggles of weight loss. Everyone is different, and your weight can be influenced by genetics, medications, and the ability to obtain good food. Obesity is a complex medical condition that requires personalized medical care. More than 40 years ago, we carried out our first weight loss surgery, and we've been giving this care to our patients ever since. Ohio State is a top bariatric surgical institution. Our program was the first at an Ohio university to combine bariatric surgery with psychological, nutritional, and exercise physiological experts. This approach will help you achieve long-term success. We are not solely interested in losing weight. We also pay attention to your overall health in order to reduce the likelihood of other medical conditions like type 2 diabetes or sleep apnea. We are non-judgmental, caring, and dedicated to your long-term success in living a happier, healthier life. The goal of bariatric surgery is to reduce weight by altering anatomy and metabolism. For long-term achievement, the Comprehensive Weight Management Program at Ohio State combines bariatric surgery with regular nutritional and exercise consultations.
