Washington University weight-loss specialists are dedicated to the management of excessive weight. Through the latest therapies, we help patients manage their weight and reduce the medical risks linked with being obese. Weight management is a challenge for everyone. An individualized approach to weight loss is essential because we are all different in genetic make-up, lifestyle, behaviors and physical activity.
Metabolic Weight Management
Weight management focuses on the underlying metabolic conditions that lead to excess weight. We work with you to improve your overall health through lifestyle changes, nutrition, physical activity and oral and injectable medications.
Endoscopic Nonsurgical Weight Loss
Nonsurgical options for weight loss include intragastric balloon placement, endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty and endoscopic revision to bariatric surgery. Our yearlong program includes personalized counseling from a lifestyle coach and registered dietitian.
Weight-Loss (Bariatric) Surgery
Bariatric surgery is an option for some people who are severely obese and haven’t been able to lose weight through diet or other efforts. We offer multiple procedures that may help with weight loss and health problems, such as diabetes.
