At the Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health Healthy Weight Management & Bariatric Surgery program, our team has proven expertise in both surgical and non-surgical weight loss treatments. Our surgeons perform minimally invasive, laparoscopic surgical procedures including sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass. Our surgeons are fellowship-trained in bariatric surgery. Our non-surgical program is led by two physicians board-certified in obesity medicine.

Both options include support from dietitians, exercise physiologists, nurses and behavioral medicine specialists.

The providers in our program may prescribe various anti-obesity medications, including GLP-1 receptor agonists semaglutide and liraglutide (sample brand names include Wegovy and Saxenda).

We also offer monthly support groups and a fitness center that is exclusively for our patients.

Our Healthy Weight Management & Bariatric Surgery program is an accredited bariatric center by the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP) and has been named a Blue Distinction Center for Bariatric Surgery® by Capital Blue Cross.
