About Lesson

Christ Hospital

The Christ Hospital

For patients who require a hospital-based procedure due to medical or insurance issues, our main facility is The Christ Hospital (main campus, 2139 Auburn Avenue, Cincinnati, OH 45219).  Christ has more than 20 years of experience in surgical weight loss and is one of the highest-rated hospitals in the region.

IMPORTANT:  Sometimes patients have to cancel or reschedule surgery at the last minute, so we do not set surgery times until 1 business day prior.  You will receive a text or a phone call the afternoon prior to your procedure with an exact arrival time!

Most patients who have surgery at Christ will stay overnight and be discharged the following morning.

Most patients will not need a hotel if having surgery at Christ, since they will be staying overnight in the hospital.  However, if a hotel is needed to arrive the night before, or for family members, we recommend SpringHill Suites Midtown.  The hospital does allow one family member to stay with the patient in the room.
