Posted on Jul 28, 2025

St. Luke’s Medical Center Quezon City proudly launches its newly enhanced Weight Management Center, offering various programs and services to help individuals achieve safe and sustainable weight loss.

Established in 2003, the Weight Management Center was the first hospital-based facility in the Philippines to serve overweight and obese individuals. With a legacy of innovation and leadership, the Center continues to provide a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach that includes diet counseling, diagnostic services, exercise therapy, and customized weight-loss programs, all administered by a team of certified physicians, nutritionists, and allied health professionals.

St. Luke’s – Quezon City also pioneered bariatric and metabolic surgery management in the Philippines. In 2002, it performed the first bariatric surgery for severe obesity in the country, sparking a national movement toward medical and surgical weight loss solutions. Since then, the center has achieved several milestones, including the country's first Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding, Gastric Bypass, and Sleeve Gastrectomy procedures. It remains the national leader in the variety and volume of bariatric surgeries while consistently maintaining the highest safety standards and the lowest complication rates.
