Patients who have a surgical weight management procedure experience benefits such as improved quality of life, improved social interactions, and a more positive psychological well being. At the Weight Loss Center at Tempe St. Luke’s Hospital, each patient receives an individualized program for success. This approach includes empowering patients and providing them with support to embark on a new life that incorporates healthy eating habits and physical activity.

To maximize your results, a registered dietician provides you with detailed nutritional information for both pre- and post-operative periods.
