Lourdes is committed to a partnership with you and your family as you explore options for successful weight loss and positive lifestyle changes. We are proud to offer you our comprehensive program, which includes educational classes, nutritional counseling, and medical and psychiatric consultations with members of our professional staff in conjunction with Bariatric surgery. Our team is committed to a long-term relationship with you as you transition to a new lifestyle following a managed weight loss program or following your surgery.
If you qualify for and choose to have Bariatric surgery, our experienced surgeon, along with a qualified team specially trained in the procedure, will perform either a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass or the LAP-BAND adjustable gastric banding, depending on which procedure is most appropriate for you.

“ Teamwork is the key. Our team works very closely with our patients, their primary care physicians, and their family members. Success is directly related to education and continued follow-up. Not every program offers this.”
One of the greatest advantages of Lourdes Bariatric and Weight Wellness Center is our commitment to helping you maintain long-term results. Psychologists and exercise physiologists are members of our team and help our patients reach and maintain their goals. Each plan is designed to meet your individual needs.
Our Metamorphosis Support Group for all weight loss surgery patients meets the third Tuesday evening of every month at 6 PM in the Marshall Nemer Pavilion Community Room on the Lourdes campus. This supportive fellowship is open to our patients, their families and friends, and persons interested in the program. You will find the Metamorphosis environment to be encouraging, motivational, and inspirational.
