Metamor Institute
The Metamor Institute is uniquely focused on the advanced treatment of obesity and diabetes. As the first institute in the nation to offer an integrated and multidisciplinary approach to caring for individuals who suffer from these devastating diseases in a single facility, Metamor utilizes a variety of treatment approaches: lifestyle interventions, drug and combination therapies, and surgical procedures performed in state-of-the-art facilities in Baton Rouge. In addition, Metamor’s physician-researchers developed lab programs that are growing to be the most comprehensive group of clinical experts to be found under one roof with the goal of becoming the top research and treatment institution for metabolic surgery, bringing bariatric clinical research trials to the patients we served.
A Partnership to Create a World-Class Institute
Combining forces to combat this increasingly present issue, Metamor provides a transdisciplinary approach to weight loss and the control of diabetes. Our Institute includes:
- Lifestyle interventions, including behavioral, dietary, and exercise approaches.
- Drug therapies, including clinical research into new medications that are effective at weight loss and controlling diabetes.
- Surgical procedures, performed in state-of-the-art facilities at Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center.
- Combination therapies, that utilize surgery and drug therapy in innovative ways to maximize success.
This destination program provides an integrated care model that brings world-class research and care to those we serve, both from Louisiana and beyond.
