About Weight Management

Obesity is a medical condition. Treat it like one.

Being overweight affects more than the way we look. Obesity increases risk for medical problems such as high blood pressure, heart disease, joint problems, and diabetes.  

Losing weight is often the single most important thing a person can do to improve health and quality of life. At UMMC Weight Management, we offer bariatric surgery and adult medical weight management options that treat obesity as the medical problem it is - and get results.
