Obesity is a disease that affects more than 72 million people in the United States.. Today, we know genetics, eating habits, emotions, and our lifestyle can lead to obesity. People who are overweight know that losing weight is a difficult process – while many succeed at it, many more have tried and failed. People with obesity are at risk for developing health problems such as heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, stroke and higher risks for cancer.
For those with more severe obesity, weight loss surgery offers an opportunity for successful weight loss and improved health status.
Weight loss surgery requires a serious commitment and involves a great deal of preparation and education before and after the surgery to ensure that patients are able to gradually lose weight and remain healthy. Is weight loss surgery right for you? Which procedure should you consider? What should you expect before and after surgery? How do you choose the right physicians and hospitals?
It is hard to begin a weight loss program on your own, but you don’t have to. We can connect you with the right health care professional to answer all of your questions, as well as introduce you to our online community of patients with whom you can share stories and gain support. We are committed in helping you achieve your weight loss goals in a way that can be sustained for the rest of your life.
