Surgical weight loss and lifestyle
Surgical weight loss (bariatric surgery) gives patients the physical tool to assist with weight loss. Bariatric surgery requires long term monitoring and changes to diet and lifestyle for patients with obesity. Studies show that people who commit to eating healthy food, exercising regularly, taking nutritional supplements and have routine blood tests for monitoring purposes have the best long term results.
Patients must be committed to making the emotional and physical changes necessary after weight loss surgery. This commitment will ensure successful weight loss and long term weight maintenance. Success in your journey to optimal weight is possible with the right mindset and a passionate team willing to support you all the way.
