Weight Loss Surgery Program

If you suffer from severe obesity and cannot lose weight with a healthy diet and exercise, weight loss surgery (also known as bariatric surgery) might be an option for you. Deciding to have weight loss surgery is a significant step toward making a permanent lifestyle change.

The Weight Loss Surgery program of Northwestern Memorial Hospital, nationally recognized as a Center of Excellence by the American Society for Bariatric Surgery, offers a variety of surgical weight loss procedures, with an emphasis on minimally invasive or laparoscopic surgery, including:

  • Roux-en-Y gastric bypass
  • Adjustable gastric banding (LAPBAND® and REALIZE™)
  • Sleeve gastrectomy
  • Revisional surgery
