Severe obesity is a chronic disease that affects millions of Americans. Typically, severe obesity is defined as being greater than 100 pounds above your ideal body weight or having a body mass index (BMI) over 30 (calculate your BMI). For the vast majority of severely obese people, diets and medications only help with temporary weight loss. Patients usually regain all and sometimes additional weight. Medical treatment of this chronic disease is difficult and often unsuccessful.

At Winchester Medical Center, our mission is to improve the health of severely obese people by providing comprehensive treatment through medical, surgical, dietary and educational intervention. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to care for you.
