Starting a weight loss journey is personal and life changing. That's why we're here to support you each step of the way.

What's the most effective method for weight loss?

There's no “one size fits all" method to weight loss.

Each person's weight loss journey is unique. What works for your best friend, sibling, or parent may not work for you.

We offer a range of methods, such as:

  • Non-surgical weight loss options.

Our non-surgical weight loss services include:

  • Lifestyle counseling.
  • Custom diet plans.
  • Medicine to help with weight loss.
  • Endoscopic weight loss techniques, such as a gastric balloon.

For some people, weight loss surgery is the best option for better health.

UPMC meets the highest standards for U.S. bariatric surgery centers.

Our doctors have the training and tools to do the most complex weight loss surgery techniques.

Bariatric surgery can help you:

  • Achieve long-term weight loss.
  • Reduce or remove risk factors for life-threatening health issues, such as diabetes and heart disease.
  • Increase your life span.
  • Improve your quality of life.

Types of bariatric surgery

At UPMC, our weight loss surgery options include:

  • Gastric bypass.
  • Gastric sleeve.
  • Revision surgery.

Find out if you qualify for bariatric surgery at UPMC.
