Weight Management Program

NYU Langone’s Weight Management Program is one of the most highly regarded of its kind. Our experts, who are among the most experienced in the field, believe that by offering medical and surgical weight loss options—including gastric sleeve, gastric bypass, single anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy (SADI-S), one-anastomosis gastric bypass (OABG), and laparoscopic band, commonly known as Lap-Band—we can best meet the needs of our patients.

We are accredited by the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP) as a comprehensive center providing high-quality, patient-centered care for adolescents and adults.

The advantages of losing weight extend far beyond the simply cosmetic. It can be lifesaving as well. Obesity is associated with a variety of health problems, including high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol levels, breathing problems, gastroesophageal reflux disease, degenerative arthritis, skin infections, infertility in women, and certain forms of cancer.

Our Bariatric Surgery Expertise

Our surgeons’ expertise in performing weight loss surgery makes them among the best in the world. They have extensive training in minimally invasive laparoscopic and robotic bariatric surgery techniques. These approaches allow for smaller incisions, less discomfort, and a quicker recovery than conventional open surgery. Our surgeons are supported by a team of anesthesiologists, operating room staff, and nurses who are specially trained in caring for people who are living with obesity.

The benefits and risks of bariatric surgery varies considerably, depending on your personal health and medical history, the type of procedure performed, and the experience of both the surgeon and the hospital. No matter which type of surgery you choose, it is vital to have it performed by a highly experienced team, such as the one at NYU Langone. Simply put, the more experience, the better the outcome. Weight loss surgery is performed at Tisch Hospital, NYU Langone Hospital—Brooklyn, and NYU Langone Hospital—Long Island.
