Overcome Obesity & Gain Quality of Life

Bariatric surgery is a successful clinical treatment for fighting morbid obesity* and overcoming the damaging health effects of being overweight, such as diabetes, high blood pressure and infertility. Thousands — men, women, teens and national celebrities — have regained their health and their lives from this effective surgery.

The Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence at University Medical Center at Princeton combines the skill of board certified surgeons with an exceptional level of caring that is sensitive to each patient’s needs and comfort.

University Medical Center at Princeton was the first hospital in Mercer County, New Jersey to offer this breakthrough medical procedure for weight control. We also offer the latest laparoscopic banding procedure. As a unit of Princeton HealthCare System, University Medical Center at Princeton provides a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach to each patient’s treatment.

* Morbid obesity is generally considered being 100 or more pounds overweight or a body mass index (BMI) of 40kg/m2 or greater. Coexisting medical problems (high blood pressure, arthritis, diabetes, high cholesterol, sleep apnea or infertility) are also considered when evaluating candidates for bariatric surgery and, if severe, can lower the weight limits for surgical treatment.
