The preferred method for weight loss has always been diet modification and regular exercise. However, if you are one of many people who have attempted conventional weight loss programs and failed to achieve a healthy lifestyle, weight loss surgery may be a safe and effective alternative.

 

Weight Loss Surgery may be right for you if:

 

  • You are an adult (over age 18)
  • Your BMI (body mass index) is over 35 with other medical conditions present:
  • Your BMI is over 40
  • You have been overweight for more than 5 years
  • You do not have any other disease that may have caused you to be overweight
  • You are willing to make permanent changes to your lifestyle
  • Accept responsibility for long-term follow-up

 

Not everyone is a candidate for surgery. If you think weight loss surgery may be right for you, then the next step is to learn more and attend one of our seminars. A team of professionals including a surgeon, a psychologist, a dietician, and your primary physician will evaluate each person on an individual basis to determine if you are a good candidate for weight loss surgery. The Team of professionals must reach a unanimous consensus in order for the journey to begin.

 

It is important to emphasize that weight loss surgery does not replace the need for a healthy diet and consistent physical activity. The risk factors and success rates of each weight loss surgery are different. What may be a good option for one could be inappropriate for another. The success and degree of weight loss are dependent on the patient's ability to follow the guidelines set forth by the weight loss program.
