If you or someone you love is having a hard time losing weight and keeping it off, you’re not alone. We can help.

Nearly 70% of Americans are overweight, and nearly 42% of Americans are considered obese.* Obesity has significant effects on our health, but it can be reversed with weight loss surgery. Studies show weight loss programs and medication can be effective for some, but they are often costly and ineffective over time, resulting in only temporary weight loss and once the medication is stopped or the program is complete, people tend to regain the weight. For many, the only way to truly lose weight and keep it off for good is to recalibrate your system with bariatric surgery.

They say getting healthy is better together!

Modifiable lifestyles and health-related behaviors are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Evidence suggests people tend to exhibit the health behaviors of people around them and that partners and friends can influence each other’s behavior. Making the decision to get healthy WITH someone brings accountability, support and motivation. When it comes to making positive changes and adopting a healthy lifestyle, it’s better together!

Weight loss surgery can improve and may even cure obesity-related health conditions.

The benefits of weight loss surgery go beyond simply losing weight. In most patients, obesity-related health problems greatly improve or disappear altogether. For example, Type 2 diabetes can improve to the point that little or no diabetes medication is necessary. Weight loss surgery can also improve or resolve other health conditions, such as:

HYPERTENSION

High blood pressure is often related to obesity, which increases risk for a number of conditions including heart attack and stroke.

GERD

The higher your BMI, the more likely you are to experience chronic heartburn or acid reflux, which can lead to cancer and other complications.

JOINT DISEASE

The more weight we carry around, the greater the pressure put on our joints. Arthritis and joint pain is common among those who are overweight.

HIGH CHOLESTEROL

Obesity increases cardiovascular risk factors including high LDL cholesterol.

OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA

Most common in those who are obese due to a larger neck circumference, obstructive sleep apnea blocks airflow resulting in shallow breathing or pauses in breathing.

INFERTILITY

Obesity can contribute to irregularities in menstrual cycle and lack of ovulation for women and low testosterone and sperm production for men. Obesity can also increase risk for pregnancy complications.
