PUT OUR TEAM TO WORK FOR YOUR WEIGHT LOSS SUCCESS!
Too many people still believe that combating obesity is as simple as trying the latest miracle diet pill or starting an exercise routine. But if you are severely obese, you probably already know that combating obesity is anything but simple, and requires far more than just the latest fad diet and a new exercise machine. The fact is, the vast majority of individuals who are severely overweight will not be able to lose weight on their own. Obesity is increasingly believed to be a progressive disease causing serious metabolic changes to the body, which fight against efforts to successfully lose weight. But along with a better understanding of obesity has come a greater understanding of appropriate treatment options that go far beyond hunger-based dieting. So if you have tried—and failed—to lose weight on your own, we encourage you not to give up: our team is here to help!
At The Center for Metabolic and Obesity Surgery in Maitland, Florida, we understand that in most cases, serious, successful, and significant weight loss requires a coordinated, comprehensive medical treatment incorporating proven surgical solutions and a dedicated support team of weight loss experts to guide you through the process. Our highly-trained and experienced staff understands the physical and mental challenges posed by obesity and the inherently difficult nature of the weight loss process. Our team is composed of dedicated and caring weight loss experts who are available to help you navigate those challenges each step of the way. From your initial consultation, through the approval process and preparation stages, during the surgery and recovery, and continuing long afterwards, our team’s goal is to provide you with guidance when needed, to support you when necessary, and to celebrate your successes as you start—and complete—your amazing weight loss journey.
