About the Medical and Surgical Weight Management Clinic

The UAMS Health Medical and Surgical Weight Management Clinic helps willing and committed patients lose weight and improve their weight related complications. Our surgical and medical teams offer two different and individualized approaches to help you achieve your personal health goals. Our team will help you decide which approach is the best for your individualized needs.

Medical Weight Management Option

Medical weight management is a non-surgical, comprehensive approach combining lifestyle changes, behavioral therapy, medications, and professional guidance to achieve weight loss. Our team develops a personalized plan to help you gradually lose weight and provide education to help you remain your healthiest.  This is usually a first-line option for those without life-threatening obesity-related conditions.

Surgical Weight Management Option

The UAMS Surgical Weight Management Program provides effective surgical solutions for weight loss and the management of obesity-related health conditions. Our dedicated team collaborates closely with the UAMS Medical Weight Management specialists to develop a personalized care plan tailored to each patient’s health needs. Through a comprehensive approach that combines nutrition, exercise, and psychosocial support, our program is designed to help you achieve your weight loss goals and enhance your overall health.
