Surgical Weight Loss -

Diet and exercise do not work for everyone. Surgical treatment, when combined with behavior modification, offers hope to those who have tried repeatedly to lose the excess weight and keep it off.

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. This highly skilled team, recognizing the physical, emotional and social issues associated with morbid obesity, provides continuous support before and after surgery.

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. This is why the National Institutes of Health state that weight loss surgery, when other treatment options failed, may be the only treatment option that can produce long-term weight loss.
