Surgical weight management options from an expert team

Metabolic and Weight Loss Surgery at Beverly Hospital

We are pleased to bring surgical weight loss services to Beverly Hospital patients. Pre- and post-operative services will take place at Beth Israel Lahey Health Care Center – Danvers and surgery will be performed at Beverly Hospital.

Bariatric surgery can offer life changing results and is an effective option for managing your weight and diseases associated with weight.

At Beverly Hospital, we believe many elements are required for successful bariatric surgery. That's why we offer nutritional counseling and behavioral health care to help you achieve your long-term weight and health goals.

A Multidisciplinary Approach

We offer a multidisciplinary team approach for treating obesity through a combination of surgery, behavioral health, and nutrition. This multidisciplinary approach is the key to successful long-term weight loss and well-being for patients.

Some patients with lower BMIs may also qualify as criteria continue to change.
