Metabolic & Bariatric Program
The region's only comprehensive medical and surgical weight loss program
The disease obesity affects around 64 million American adults. Severe cases
of obesity are measured by an individual’s body weight. If a person
is 100 pounds or more above their ideal body weight, the patient is considered
obese. At Valley Health, our hospitals are dedicated to helping people
who struggle with excess weight and related health problems take back
control of their lives. Our distinctive program not only guides patients
through the process, but also gives them the tools to succeed in keeping
the weight off! This includes surgery, medical management, help from dietitians,
medications, and more.

apnea. Many need medical help in order to safely lose weight and keep
the weight off. Our locations are committed to the health and wellness
of all of our patients. You won’t be alone in your fight against
obesity! We stick with our clients every step of the way to help achieve
