For our comprehensive medical (i.e. non-surgical) weight loss program, our six-month weight loss goal is 10% of your body weight. This is commonly achieved and, although it may not sound like a lot, it represents the beginning of a path toward improved health and weight management that will take much longer than six months. With a 10% total body weight loss, you will see significant improvement in your other medical problems including diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, gastroesophageal reflux disease, joint problems, asthma, to name a few. There are no guarantees of success with any weight loss program including our comprehensive medical and surgical programs. This is because these programs provide you with a set of tools, albeit powerful ones, which you must choose to use in order to derive the benefits of lower weight and improved health. The key to success is your willingness to make profound changes in your life in your dietary choices and exercise regimen. We can help you design a successful program individualized to your needs and your tastes but you are the one who will use this program to achieve the desired results.
