Abington Memorial Hospital's Institute for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery

You may be considering gastric bypass surgery. You have most likely tried to lose weight using diet programs without much success. You've decided to research what  surgical weight loss options are available to you. At Abington Memorial Hospital, we realize weight loss surgery is not a magic bullet. But, it is the first important step toward the beginning of a lifelong commitment to a healthier body and lifestyle. At our Institute for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery, we offer our patients a comprehensive approach to weight loss that features a full range of services: including ongoing support-including a lifetime of follow-up care-counseling; an exercise program; and a nutrition plan.

If you're considering surgical weight loss, you should first consult your primary care physician. If you decide to pursue it, your physician will be kept informed of the progress of your treatments at the Institute for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery. 

We encourage you to join us for free information sessions that are held twice a month. To register for a seminar, please call the Institute for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery at 215-441-6800.
