Weight Loss Surgery

South Shore Hospital Center for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery, in collaboration with Brigham and Women's Surgical Associates, is designated a MBSAQIP Accredited Center-Comprehensive. South Shore Hospital also earned the Blue Distinction Center, Aetna Institute of Quality, and the Optum Center of Excellence awards.  

Our weight-loss surgery program includes state-of-the-art surgical treatment as well as a team of experts who provide lifetime nutritional and behavioral health support—a key component to long-term weight-loss success. Our program is led by Dr. Neil Ghushe who is fellowship trained in bariatric surgery and an instructor of surgery at Harvard Medical School.

The first step in the process is to attend a free informational session. Our information sessions are held virtually and offered every other month.

Each session is led by one of our bariatric surgeons and includes many members of the team. They will explain the entire process and answer your questions including those about qualifications, gastric sleeves as opposed to gastric bypass surgery, lifestyle changes, and cost.
