Temple Bariatric Surgery Program  

 

Temple University Hospital is proud to be designated as a Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence® by the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery. This designation recognizes programs with a demonstrated track record of success.


We have also been awarded the Blue Distinction Center for Bariatric Surgery® by the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association. This designation recognizes the high-quality care and excellent results achieved at Temple.

At Temple, we know that losing weight can be one of the most difficult challenges you can face. It's why we offer proven weight loss procedures such as adjustable gastric banding and gastric bypass surgery. And because most of our procedures are done laparoscopically, you can expect a faster recovery and a lower risk of complications. We know that weight loss surgery is a life-changing event and the Temple weight-loss team works with you every step of the way.
