General Info

Obesity is an increasingly serious health problem in the United States. Approximately two thirds of individuals living in the United States are overweight, and of those, almost half are obese. Obesity compounds a person's risk of developing diabetes, heart disease, gallbladder disease, hormone related cancers, high blood pressure, breathing problems, and premature death. Moreover, the psychological effects of obesity can range from lowered self-esteem to clinical depression. Obesity is the number one leading cause of preventable death in the United States today. Conventional diet methods have proven to not be effective for long-term weight management. At Memorial, we offer patients two different programs to assist you with weight loss: A "non-surgical" Physician Supervised Weight Loss Program that teaches patients behavior and lifestyle changes that are necessary to lose weight and keep it off. A Surgical Weight Management Program consisting of the two most common and effective procedures for weight loss ? the Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass Roux-en-Y and the Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Band. These are safe, effective weight loss tools for those 100 pounds overweight or more. Please call us today for more information and to discuss which option is best for you.
