OPTIONS FOR TREATMENT
Obesity is a disease, and it is a treatable one. Even though the statistics on people successfully losing weight with diet and exercise alone can be disheartening, there is hope. Studies show that only a single-digit percent of people are able to lose a substantial amount of weight and keep it off. That is the reason we offer treatments that work. Bariatric surgery is the only truly successful way to treat morbid obesity and its associated health effects.
Most non-surgical weight loss programs are based on some combination of diet/behavior modification and regular exercise. Unfortunately, even the most effective interventions have proven to be effective for only a small percentage of patients. It is estimated that less than 5% of individuals who participate in non-surgical weight loss programs will lose a significant amount of weight and maintain that loss for a long period of time. The treatment options we offer are the ones that are known to result in substantial weight loss for many patients. These options are: Gastric Band, Gastric Sleeve, Gastric Bypass.
