Surgical approaches incorporate preoperative and postoperative education and support, focusing on three pillars to help you reach your goals:

fundamentals of a whole foods diet
changing lifestyle habits and behaviors
activity, movement and play

It is very important to understand that weight loss surgery does not cure obesity. It is a tool to help you transform your life to reduce the effects of excessive weight and alleviate the serious physical, emotional and social consequences of the disease.

From a Grateful Patient (wishes to remain anonymous)

"The surgery was a life changer. I no longer am on treatment for high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia and my diabetes medication was dramatically reduced. I went from a size 30 to a size 12.

Before, I would take my car to a meeting that was just down the street. Today, I keep up walking with all the young people. I no longer need a seat belt extender, or flight attendants offering me help.

I lost 80 pounds 10 years ago and have kept it off without a constant preoccupation with my weight. I am perhaps not society’s image of skinny, but I love my life and have never regretted the decision to have bariatric surgery."
