Nashville Weight Loss Solutions is a weight loss and bariatric practice located in Nashville, Tennessee. The clinic offers a combination of surgical solutions, weight loss medications, and nutritional coaching for patients pursuing weight management. The practice is led by Dr. Hugh Houston and presents itself as having more than 20 years of experience serving patients in the middle Tennessee region. Its model emphasizes tailoring services to individual patient needs across surgical, medical, and lifestyle approaches.
Services
The clinic groups its offerings into surgical solutions, medications, and coaching:
- Surgical solutions. Procedures listed include gastric bypass, gastric sleeve, duodenal switch, SADI-S, and robotic surgery.
- Medications. The practice references weight loss medications including phentermine, Qsymia, Contrave, Wegovy, Zepbound, and semaglutide.

The clinic also offers educational webinars and support groups, along with a candidacy assessment for prospective patients. The site references an eStore partnership with Celebrate Vitamins and an upcoming podcast titled “The Skinny on Weight Loss.”
The practice outlines what patients can expect across three phases. Before surgery, patients meet one-on-one with Dr. Houston for a personalized discussion, complete thorough nutritional and physical assessments, and attend pre-operative classes covering nutrition and exercise guidelines, supported by an owner’s manual and a personalized app. On the day of surgery, a surgical team provides post-operative care including pain management, fluid intake monitoring, and mobility assistance from bariatric-trained nurses, with patients staying overnight or departing the same day depending on the case. After surgery, the program provides scheduled follow-ups, nutrition guidance for dietary adjustments, and ongoing support through support groups, counseling services, and community connection.

According to the clinic, Dr. Houston graduated from Murray State University, attended the University of Louisville School of Medicine, completed general surgery training at the University of Cincinnati, and completed a two-year fellowship in laparoscopic bariatric surgery at Vanderbilt University.
