The Bariatric Center of United Hospital

Nationally recognized as a "Bariatric Center of Excellence" by the American Society for Bariatric Surgery, United Hospital's Bariatric Surgery Center is dedicated to helping patients achieve significant weight loss, which can lead to a healthier, more active lifestyle.

• Meet our physicians.
• Learn about patient criteria and insurance coverage.

Bariatric surgery is an effective weight loss and weight control method for clinically severe (morbid) obesity. Bariatric surgery is one part of a lifestyle plan — including eating right and exercising regularly — to maintain a healthy weight.

Free introductory meetings for interested people and their family members are presented by William M. Rupp, MD, and his staff at United Hospital. Register online or call Allina Class Registration at 612-262-3333 or 1-800-877-7878 (if you're outside the Minneapolis/St. Paul area) for more information.
Introductory meetings and times

Support groups meet regularly, offering patients and former patients to share their experiences. They exist to support our patients and to discuss problems and successes with other patients in our program.
