There are many reasons to lose weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Some people have serious health concerns. Others want to feel better about their appearance.
Many are simply tired of the burden of being overweight and want to improve their daily quality of life.
It is well known that even the most stringent diet therapies can fail to bring about sustained, long-term weight loss. Changing one's weight means changing one's lifestyle. This tenet is at the core of the Center's program.
At the NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital Center for Obesity Surgery we offer our patients an integrated approach to weight loss, combining the talents of physicians, surgeons, nurse practitioners, registered dietitians, behavioral therapists, physical therapists, and a host of ancillary support professionals to empower individuals to succeed at the unique challenges of losing and controlling their weight.
