  • About Me

    For over a decade, Dr. John Meilahn and the Temple Weight Loss Team have maintained a high-volume of patients, high standard of care and excellent outcomes. Every patient first meets with Dr. Meilahn. Then, based on a comprehensive evaluation, the best surgical option is clearly explained. The Bariatric Surgical Center at Temple features customized rooms and equipment designed especially for the comfort and safety of the bariatric patient. Temple provides follow-up clinical visits with Dr. Meilahn, diet and lifestyle counseling, education and personal support to achieve long-lasting results. At both Temple and at Jeanes Hospitals, our main concern is the safety, comfort and lifelong weight loss of each patient.
