Weight Loss Surgery

Contact us at 703-391-3783

Weight loss surgery, also known as bariatric surgery, is the first step in a lifelong journey toward improved health and a new you.

We know you have questions. Your first question may be, "Am I eligible for weight loss surgery?" You will also want a hospital with dedicated physicians and staff, and a program that supports you every step of the way.

Inova Fair Oaks Hospital is recognized as a Center of Excellence by the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS). That means our weight loss surgery program met or surpassed numerous requirements for staff education and training, equipment specifications and even furniture design to best accommodate our patients.

Nearly 5,000 individuals have come to Inova Fair Oaks for weight loss surgery, including Ann, pictured here, who lost 100 pounds following her surgery.

Inova Fair Oaks performs more bariatric surgeries in the Northern Virginia and D.C. metro area than any other hospital. Many of our staff have undergone the surgery themselves and can personally relate to your concerns. Our nurses have extensive specialized bariatrics and sensitivity training. We also offer comprehensive nutrition counseling and follow-up educational services to help you meet your weight loss goals.

For more information, please call 703-391-3783.
