A Big Change

At WVU, three experienced surgeons perform surgery for obesity. They offer a broad range of options, including gastric bypass, Lap Band and minimally invasive approaches.

Our techniques produce successful weight loss in most patients, and also improve obesity-related conditions such as diabetes, heart and lung problems, arthritis, high-blood pressure, sleep apnea and others.

Out team includes dieticians, clinical psychologists, physical therapists and others who work with each patient before, during and after surgery. A plastic surgeon can help deal with excess skin and other consequences of successful weight loss.

To be a candidate for obesity surgery at WVU you need to be seriously overweight and be highly motivated to permanently change your lifestyle.

When you need more moderate weight loss

HMR, a physician supervised program of health and weight management, offers two options for people who want to shed pounds. The Medically Supervised Program is for people who need to lose 30 pounds or more. Average weight loss is 50-60 pounds in the first 16-20 weeks. The Healthy Solutions Program is not medically supervised but uses HMR's weight loss shakes and entrees. Average weight-loss is 26 pounds in the first 12 weeks.
