Excess weight can put your health at risk. Obesity is a life-threatening disease affecting 1 out of every 3 adults in the United States. The Center for Healthy Weight offers a comprehensive approach to losing weight that includes fitness programs, nutrition counseling, medically supervised weight loss, and a variety of surgical and minimally invasive options. If it’s determined that surgery is right for you, the Center offers many options, including gastric banding, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, and sleeve gastrectomy. All your pre- and post-operative care can be conveniently accessed through Hunterdon Healthcare.
We offer a multidisciplinary team of registered dietitians, clinical psychologists, and board-certified physicians to meet your specific needs and help you develop a personalized weight loss plan. Our comprehensive program, coordinated care, and convenient locations make the Hunterdon Healthcare System the best choice for your weight loss journey.*
