Obesity

NYU Langone doctors are experienced in helping people who are affected by obesity lose weight. Obesity is defined as having too much body fat relative to height. It is a serious condition that increases a person’s risk of developing a variety of health problems, including type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.

NYU Langone has a team of weight management experts that includes internists that specialize in obesity; registered dietitians, who assist in meal planning; endocrinologists, doctors who treat hormone conditions; and bariatric, or weight loss, surgeons. These specialists work together to create a personalized plan to help you lose weight and prevent or manage obesity-related conditions.

NYU Langone’s Weight Management Program, Weight Management Program at NYU Langone Hospital—Brooklyn, and Weight Management Program at NYU Langone Hospital—Long Island offer a wide range of evidence-based treatment options to help you lose weight, including medically supervised meal replacement with nutritional and behavioral support.
