Why Choose Our Weight Loss Surgery Program?

If you've struggled with obesity - and traditional weight loss solutions - you're far from alone: more than 1 in 20 Americans over the age of 20 are morbidly obese, increasing their risk for type 2 diabetes, heart disease and stroke, and keeping them from the happy and active life they deserve.*

Take the First Step Toward a New You

Whether you need help making dietary and lifestyle changes, or are considering a life-changing weight loss procedure, Sharon Regional Health System can help put you on the path to success:

Skill and Experience

We're proud to feature board-certified general surgeon, Sheetal Nijhawan, M.D., as Medical Director of Bariatric Surgery. With fellowship training in weight loss and advanced laparoscopic procedures, Dr. Nijhawan has helped hundreds of men and women throughout the northwest Pennsylvania-northeast Ohio region enjoy a new lease on life. And her care doesn't end with surgery: she's here to monitor, support and celebrate your lifelong commitment to wellness.

Minimally Invasive Techniques

Facing major surgery can feel overwhelming, but you'll find peace of mind with our minimally invasive weight loss procedures. Dr. Nijhawan specializes in laparoscopic gastric sleeve, gastric bypass and LAP-BAND® surgery. These techniques often allow for greater precision, with fewer incisions - which may mean less pain and scarring and a quicker recovery for you.

Dedicated Care Team

Our bariatric surgery program offers a multidisciplinary approach to care. Your team - featuring a dedicated coordinator, nutritionist, physical therapist, psychologist and more - is here to promote positive change, inside and out. Working closely with you and your primary care physician, we'll create an individualized plan tailored to your unique needs and goals.

Personalized Support Every Step of the Way

Your weight loss journey is personal - and our care is, too. Start with a free informational seminar, where the team will discuss weight loss and wellness solutions, and see if a procedure can help you take charge your health and life.
