Types of Weight Loss Surgery
WHY WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY?
Weight loss surgery has helped millions of people shed excess weight and live healthier lives. It is a common treatment option for people with severe obesity who have been unsuccessful with other weight loss methods. Weight loss surgery works because it also includes education to transform eating habits to maintain an ideal weight and thus live a healthier life.
Bariatric surgery involves education both before and after surgery to ensure that the patient is able to gradually lose weight and remain healthy while doing it. Thus, weight loss surgery is a holistic program that involves a firm, lifelong commitment to certain personal lifestyle changes.
At St. John Providence Weight Loss, our goal is to meet our patients’ needs before, during and after surgery. Our staff understands the challenges involved in overcoming obesity. They are available to support your commitment to change, whether you need one-one-one support or formal support group sessions after surgery. An important part of St. John Providence Weight Loss’ program is our passion for healing the whole person.
