Kettering Weight Loss Surgery provides a comprehensive, compassionate approach to weight loss to support physicians participating in the program.



BARIATRIC SURGERY CENTER OF EXCELLENCE - Only hospitals that provide the very best in bariatric patient care are granted this award from the American Society for Bariatric Surgery.

DEDICATED FACILITIES - Everything in the center is designed to be comfortable and convenient for obese patients-including customized beds, chairs, showers, toilets, doorways and overhead fans.

BENEFITS OF A DYNAMIC HOSPITAL SETTING - Patients can have their surgery performed in one of the Kettering Medical Center's participating hospitals to take advantage of the finest equipment and facilities anywhere. This is essential if any related health concerns or emergencies arise.

EXPERIENCE - Weight loss surgery has gained wider public awareness in recent years, but we were pioneers in the field over 20 years ago, and have performed thousands of successful procedures over the past several decades.

EXPERTISE - Experienced surgeons, nurses, and support staff participate in our program.

COMPREHENSIVE TREATMENT - We don't just perform surgery. We help patients achieve health and happiness through a broad course of treatment, including pre-surgery consultation, post-surgery follow-up, diet planning, exercise and activity programs, support groups, lifestyle counseling and more.

COMPASSIONATE CARE - Obesity is a medical condition, but our specialists recognize patients also confront complicated psychological, social and emotional issues. We care for the whole person so patients can achieve their individual goals and begin leading the fulfilling lives they deserve.
