Obesity continues to be a problem plaguing millions of Americans. Often leading to serious health problems, obesity can have a devastating effect on the life of an individual as well as their family. If you or someone you love is struggling with obesity, we can help.
Highlands Center for Weight Loss can help individuals suffering from obesity reclaim a healthier and happier life. If you have a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or more -- which is about 100 pounds overweight for men and about 80 pounds for women -- you are considered severely obese and therefore a candidate for weight loss surgery.
Obesity surgery may also be an option for people with a BMI between 35 and 40 who suffer from obesity-related problems (for example, severe sleep apnea, obesity-related heart disease, or diabetes). For these people, the risk of death from not having the surgery may be greater than the risks from the possible complications from undergoing the procedures.
The highly skilled surgeons at the Highlands Center for Weight Loss can get you on the right track to living a longer and healthier life. To learn more about your options when it comes to weight loss, visit our website at www.hrmcweightloss.com.
