FAQs
When it comes to weight loss, obesity treatment, and bariatric care, patients commonly have a lot of concerns—medical, emotional, logistical, and financial. Here’s a list of frequently asked questions (FAQs) to help guide you.
What is bariatric care, and how is it different from traditional weight loss programs?
Bariatric care is specialized medical treatment for obesity, which may include surgical and non-surgical options. Unlike fad diets or temporary fixes, bariatric care addresses the underlying causes of obesity with a comprehensive, long-term approach.
What makes your approach to obesity treatment holistic?
We focus on the whole person—not just the weight. Our treatment plans combine medical care, nutrition, mental health support, physical activity, and lifestyle coaching to support sustainable health and well-being.
Am I a candidate for bariatric surgery?
You may be a candidate if your Body Mass Index (BMI) is 35 or higher with health complications, or 40 or higher without. We offer thorough evaluations to determine the best treatment options for your unique needs.
What non-surgical options are available for weight loss?
We offer a variety of non-surgical treatments including medically supervised weight loss programs, nutrition counseling, behavioral therapy, medications, and personalized fitness plans.
