Being overweight doesn't just affect how you look in a bathing suit.

It can negatively impact many aspects of life, including your ability to get around and do the things you enjoy most. And it can have a serious impact on your health.

Obesity is associated with more than 30 medical conditions, including heart disease, America’s #1 killer.

According to The Obesity Society, obese individuals may have a 50 to 100% increased risk of death from all causes compared with normal-weight individuals.

But there is hope.

Clinic hours

We are open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

MBSAQIP-accredited weight-loss surgery center

The Comprehensive Weight Management Center, in collaboration with Surgical Associates of Kingsport, has been designated an MBSAQIP Accredited Center by the American College of Surgeons and the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery.

What does MBSAQIP accreditation mean?

MBSAQIP is the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program.

By accrediting bariatric surgical centers, MBSAQIP is working to advance safe, high-quality care for bariatric surgery patients.

A bariatric surgical center achieves accreditation following a rigorous review process. This process proves the center can maintain certain physical resources, human resources and high practice standards.

Bariatric surgery accreditation not only promotes uniform standard benchmarks but also supports continuous quality improvement.
