Weight loss surgery in Billings is part of a multidisciplinary program centered at St. Vincent Healthcare Weight Management Clinic offering education, support groups, nutritional guidance, exercise planning, and psychologic support both before and after surgery. Weight loss can help eliminate obesity-related illnesses such as Type II Diabetes, Hypertension, Sleep Apnea, Reflux Disease and Hyperlipidemia.

We are committed to helping persons with longstanding obesity achieve the best results and improved health from long term weight loss.
