Board-certified surgeon Dr. Wayne J. English, a specialist in weight loss surgery, heads a team of medical experts in surgery, anesthesiology, health psychology, nursing, nutrition and exercise.

Patients, on average, may lose about one-third of their initial weight in approximately 12 to 18 months. Studies show that after 10 to 14 years, 50 percent of excess weight loss is maintained.
