Recognized as a Center of Excellence by American College of Surgeons (ACS) the UM Center for Weight Management and Wellness is committed to ensuring that you receive the tools you need to achieve and maintain weight loss. Diet, exercise, and behavior are emphasized as crucial components in weight control.

The Center expertly combines the bariatric surgery component with a medically supervised weight-loss component. Our experienced surgical team employs the latest in advanced minimally invasive–or laparoscopic–techniques. Our physician-supervised medical weight-loss program offers a number of options for patients who have had difficulty losing weight.

We offer a comprehensive, patient-oriented approach to treating obesity that includes long-term after care and emotional support. Our program provides patients with tools to achieve enduring weight loss through reinforcement of lifestyle changes. Physicians at the Center for Weight Management & Wellness have performed over 1,200 bariatric procedures with outstanding weight loss achieved and few complications.

Those who wish to be considered as candidates for weight loss surgery need to attend a free informational seminar. This seminar includes a visual presentation and is designed to assist participants in making informed decisions about whether or not surgery is the right option.
