America is in the throes of an obesity epidemic. Thirty percent of Americans ages 20 and older are obese, according to the National Center for Health Statistics. Lahey Clinic’s Center for Surgical Weight Loss offers morbidly obese patients a multidisciplinary team approach to their treatment. The Center is staffed by a variety of specialists in nutrition, surgery and psychology, with access to specialists treating a full range of obesity-associated illnesses, such as endocrinologists, pulmonologists and cardiologists.

Once patients are accepted into our program, their treatment plans are personalized and closely monitored by an individually assigned member of our team. This level of personalization ensures nothing is overlooked, resulting in an optimum outcome.
