Dr. Matthew Weiner is a board-certified bariatric surgeon and a nationally recognized expert in the surgical treatment of obesity. With over two decades of experience, he has helped thousands of patients reclaim their health through advanced metabolic and bariatric surgery. As the founder of the Pound of Cure Weight Loss Program, Dr. Weiner combines surgical expertise with a deep understanding of the metabolic and nutritional complexities that drive obesity.
At the core of Dr. Weiner’s surgical practice is a commitment to comprehensive care. He specializes in Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, and revisional bariatric surgery, offering each patient a personalized surgical approach tailored to their medical history, metabolic health, and weight loss goals.
Dr. Weiner developed the Pound of Cure Nutrition Plan to support long-term success after surgery. His approach doesn’t rely on calorie counting—instead, it focuses on lowering your body’s metabolic setpoint through a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, beans, legumes, and lean animal protein. By addressing food noise and metabolic dysregulation at the source, Dr. Weiner’s program empowers post-op patients to achieve sustainable weight loss without the restrictive and temporary tactics of traditional diets.
A frequent speaker and educator in the bariatric community, Dr. Weiner has published multiple books, including A Pound of Cure and How Weight Loss Surgery Really Works, and maintains a popular YouTube channel where he shares evidence-based insights on metabolic health and obesity treatment.
