Welcome to the St. Francis Weight Loss Center

The St. Francis Weight Loss Center helps people live better, healthier and longer through bariatric surgery and our physician-directed weight loss programs.

Everyone has a different family history, different life experiences and a different point of view. Weight loss is different for everyone, too. That’s why the St. Francis Weight Loss Center offers a range of medical and surgical treatments for people who are struggling with extra weight.

Losing weight can be one of the most difficult challenges you can face. Because for many, being overweight is not simply due to a lack of will power or exercise. Sometimes your family history may be to blame. For some people, no amount of dieting or exercising will help. It’s why St. Francis offers proven weight loss procedures such as adjustable gastric bands, gastric bypass surgery, and sleeve gastrectomy.

Franciscan St. Francis Health is proud to be designated as a Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence by the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery and a Blue Distinction Center for Bariatric Surgery. These designations recognize programs with a demonstrated track record of success.

We know that successful weight loss is a life-changing experience, and the St. Francis Weight Loss Center team works with you every step of the way. Our weight-loss specialists partner with you to achieve sustained weight loss, improve serious medical conditions and increase the quality of your life.
