Weight Loss Programs

At Castleview Weight Loss Center we offer both Surgical and Non-Surgical Weight Loss Programs. Non-Surgical Weight Loss Program includes, individualized meal planning, exercise routines, and one-on-one appointments with a bariatric certified nurse. Behavior counseling is also offered with the program.

We offer several different types of weight loss surgery procedures here at Castleview Hospital – bariatric surgery that is performed laparoscopically. Our patients can expect to leave the hospital with six to eight incisions between ½” to 1 inch long. This promotes faster healing, shorter hospital stays and a quicker return to work.
