Obesity Treatments

Obesity is a chronic disease, not a personal failure – and that’s how we treat it.

At Allegheny Health Network (AHN) Bariatric and Metabolic Institute, our team of weight loss specialists has a wide selection of tools at their disposal. Our weight loss arsenal includes short- and long-term medications as well as minimally invasive surgeries. We offer you the most effective treatments available today and are devoted to seeing you succeed.

Innovative and personalized bariatric services

We offer a wide range of medical and surgical bariatric treatments, tailored to your needs and weight loss goals. Our bariatric services include:

• Bariatric surgery: Our board-certified bariatric surgeons perform the most effective types of weight loss surgeries available today, including gastric sleeve and complex revision surgeries. We also offer several minimally invasive and endoscopic (no incision) bariatric procedures for people who struggle with severe obesity. See more on bariatric surgery.
• Medical weight loss treatments: Certain medications can aid your weight loss efforts. We also offer meal replacement plans (weight loss shakes) that help you lose weight without surgery. Learn more about medical weight loss.
• Nutrition counseling: Our nutrition professionals work with you one-on-one to help you make sustainable changes to what and how you eat. We’ll give you personalized guidance and tips that work for your lifestyle long term.
• Behavioral health counseling: Don’t let emotional obstacles stand between you and your weight loss goals. Our psychologists are trained in cognitive behavioral therapies that can help you identify and overcome emotional factors that affect your weight.
• Diabetes care: If you’re having trouble managing diabetes, losing weight may help. Our endocrinologists are highly trained in diabetes care. They work closely with you and other specialists to help you lose weight and live well with diabetes. Learn more about diabetes and weight loss.
