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.

We’ll work with you to identify your skills and abilities, and help you find and keep a job. If you’re a Veteran with VA health care, you’re eligible for these services. If you have a service-related disability that limits working at a job that matches your skills, you may be eligible for vocational rehabilitation.
Services we offer include:
Transitional work experience matches your skills with a specific job and provides supervision.
Supported employment helps Veterans with serious mental illnesses compete for jobs by providing therapy while they work.
Vocational services train Veterans living at our residential facility to improve their job-hunting skills.
Women Veteran care
We offer women’s health services to meet your specific needs such as disease screenings, mental health treatment, recovery from military sexual trauma, maternity care and female-specific medical equipment.
