For over a decade, the Maimonides Weight Management Center has maintained Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP) accreditation in recognition of our commitment to exceptional safety, quality, and patient care. Our multidisciplinary team—led by experienced bariatric surgeons—offers a full spectrum of weight loss options, including minimally invasive sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass, and SIPS, as well as nonsurgical interventions and coordinated nutritional and behavioral support.
From your first consultation through recovery and long-term follow-up, we prioritize your comfort and success. We know the weight loss journey can be challenging. But with advanced surgical technology and compassionate, team-based care, we guide you toward meaningful, sustainable weight loss and improved health.
At Maimonides, our bariatric specialists and weight loss doctors understand how personal and emotional the decision to pursue weight loss surgery can be. Each weight loss surgery doctor on our team takes the time to listen, support, and guide you with empathy—offering advanced minimally invasive options while helping you feel seen, understood, and confident in your path forward. Patients like Sydnie choose our surgeons not only for their expertise, but for the compassion and partnership they bring to every step of the journey.

Bariatric surgery is typically recommended for people with a BMI of 35+, or BMI over 30 with a serious weight-related health condition. Depending on the procedure, patients often lose 20 to 50% of their total body weight.
BMI is a measure of body fat based on height and weight. A healthy BMI ranges from 20 to 25; anything above 25 may indicate you are overweight.
