Surgical Weight Loss Center

Our program has one prime objective - to provide high quality patient-centered health care in a cost-effective and compassionate manner. This is accomplished with the most advanced technology, highly qualified medical professionals, and the finest equipment.

As you know, morbid obesity is not a choice or a lifestyle, but a chronic disease that causes other life threatening diseases such as diabetes, sleep apnea, and high blood pressure. As you consider a surgical weight loss procedure, it is our pleasure to provide you with information concerning our hospital, state-of-the-art equipment, excellent surgeons and the entire surgical procedure.

Years of planning and training have gone into the development of our program. Special consideration has been given to the multi-disciplinary needs of our patients. Our Program integrates professional staff from many departments, including Surgical Services, Wellness Services, Dietary and Nutritional Counseling, Sleep Center, and Physical Therapy, to bring together a comprehensive program for the treatment of morbid obesity. Additionally, our surgeons have been trained in the most up-to-date surgical procedures. St. Joseph Regional Health Center is the first Brazos Valley facility utilizing a multi-disciplinary technique in a variety of surgical weight loss procedures.

Our experienced professional staff is committed to providing you with a safe and physiologically sound surgical experience and hospital stay. We are honored to be a part of your decision of a lifetime. We are prepared to support you and your family with educational materials, support services and appropriate resources.

If you have any questions regarding weight loss surgery, or would like to make a reservation for a free community lecture, please do not hesitate to contact Cindy O'Brien at 979-821-7556 or 800-914-0745.
