Our Services
Weight Management Program
The Weight Management Program is a multidisciplinary, medically supervised weight loss program for overweight and obese patients. Our treatment programs are physician-monitored and designed to improve health through sustained weight loss based on reasonable long-term goals. The initial visit to our clinic involves a thorough nutrition evaluation. It is from these evaluations that goals are established and the treatment plan is initiated.
Bariatric Surgery
The University Of Illinois Hospital & Health Sciences System has one of the country's most advanced centers for minimally invasive surgery. We offer robotic assisted bariatric procedures including laparoscopic gastric bypass, open gastric bypass and laparoscopic lap band procedures. We also provide body contouring procedures to reduce baggy skin and reshape the body after significant weight loss. These procedures include tummy tucks, circumferential lifts, thigh lifts, breast lifts/reductions, arm lifts, face and neck lifts.
