Bariatric surgery, also called weight loss surgery, reduces the size of your stomach and length of your small intestine to limit the amount of food that can be eaten or absorbed. Bariatric surgery can be done in several ways:
- Sleeve gastrectomy removes part of your stomach, leaving only a slender “sleeve”
- Gastric bypass, also called Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, shrinks stomach size and re-routes your digestive system so you don’t absorb as much food (procedure available in Pittsburgh and Wilkes-Barre only)
We offer the latest minimally-invasive and robotic surgery services to Veterans with morbid obesity and related medical conditions.

Bariatric (weight loss) surgery is the most effective treatment for morbid obesity. You may qualify for surgery if your BMI (body-mass index) is over 35, or if your BMI is between 30 and 35 and you have associated medical problems such as high blood pressure, diabetes, arthritis, sleep apnea, or heart disease. You can calculate your BMI here: https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/educational/lose_wt/BMI/bmicalc.htm
If you are interested in bariatric surgery, please ask your primary care provider to place a bariatric surgery consult. You will also need to enroll in our MOVE! Weight Management Program (https://www.move.va.gov/) and must complete 12 sessions before scheduling your surgery. Success with bariatric surgery requires a lifetime commitment to a healthy lifestyle including strict diet, regular exercise, and daily vitamin supplementation.

Whole Health is VA’s cutting-edge approach to care that supports your health and well-being. Whole Health centers around what matters to you, not what is the matter with you. This means your health team will get to know you as a person, before working with you to develop a personalized health plan based on your values, needs, and goals.
Find out how you can #LiveWholeHealth from home through VA’s ongoing self-care blog series. This series highlights Whole Health resources—such as video sessions for yoga or meditation—that you can follow along at home to live healthier and happier.
How to get started
Start a conversation with your health team about your needs and priorities, or learn about Whole Health practices from other Veterans through the Taking Charge of My Life and Health course or our Whole Health Passport Group (ask your care team for a Whole Health consult to enroll).
VA staff and Veteran peers will support and guide you through the Personal Health Inventory self-assessment and help you create your personal health plan. What matters to you will shape your plan and drive your choice of Well-being Programs and clinical treatments.
The road to better health and well-being starts here, with you.
Our whole health approach empowers and equips you to take charge of your health, well-being, and quality of life. Whole health goes beyond your illnesses, injuries, or disabilities, and focuses instead on your values, goals, and overall health. It includes self-care and complementary therapies along with conventional medical care. Our whole health program includes:
- Acupuncture to help you manage pain without drugs
- Meditation and mindfulness training
- Yoga, tai chi, and qi gong classes
- Massage and manual therapy
Take charge of your health plan by calling or secure messaging your Primary Care provider to request a consult for the Whole Health Program.
