Did you notice our new look? We’ve refreshed our WhyWeight.com™ website and, by launching this exciting new blog, now have the opportunity to share important and relevant information about our practice, weight loss and more!

Since 2000, The Surgical Specialists of Louisiana have been offering weight loss programs that suit the needs of every person interested in losing weight, improving their health, and enhancing the quality of their life.

Our experienced surgeons have performed over 3,000 advanced laparoscopic weight loss surgeries such as gastric bypass, adjustable gastric banding (LAP-BAND® and REALIZE™ Band), gastric sleeve and duodenal switch. We are also now offering groundbreaking incisionless bariatric procedures such as ROSE (Restorative Obesity Surgery, Endoscopic) and POSE (Primary Obesity Surgery, Endoscopy), which are performed entirely through the mouth without making any external incisions in to the body.

But we’re not only experts in Bariatric Surgery. MyWeight, our new non-surgical weight loss and wellness program, can help you succeed whether you have 5, 50 or 150 pounds to lose. This medically supervised weight loss program is tailored to your individual needs and provides one-on-one coaching from clinical specialists.

With offices in Covington, Metairie, Slidell, and Lafayette, Louisiana, we’re just around the corner—no matter where you are! Our seven full time patient advocates are eager to help you learn about your weight loss options or help you navigate the weight loss surgery insurance hurdle.

We encourage you and your loved ones to follow this blog and explore everything our new site has to offer. And check out the new inspirational videos from five of our successful bariatric patients – Nina, Katie, Claire, Melissa, and Stacy.

We’re looking forward to helping you achieve your weight loss and wellness goals!
