At The Centers for Comprehensive Weight Loss (CCWL), qualified patients who have been unsuccessful with other weight loss methods will find new hope.

Our approach to the treatment of clinically severe obesity (being at least 100 pounds overweight or 200% of one’s ideal body weight as defined by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Table) is a multi-disciplinary program. It includes gastric bypass surgery (a procedure that helps you digest and absorb calories at a slower rate), nutrition and fitness counseling, and behavior modification. With all of these components working together, patients can reach the goal of at least 75% excess weight loss and keep it off permanently. Throughout the program, our patients are treated with compassion and dignity, as evidenced in part by our specialized equipment and furnishings - all designed to enhance comfort.

When choosing a weight loss surgery center you should consider the following questions:

• Is the weight loss procedure you’re considering approved by the National Institutes of Health?
• Is the surgeon board certified with significant experience in abdominal surgery?
• Is the medical center licensed and JCAHO accredited and have a long track record of excellence?
• Does the program include psychological evaluation and counseling?
• Does the weight loss program provide careful monitoring after surgery?
• Is there an exercise and fitness component to the program?
• Does the program provide follow-up support group sessions?
  

If you choose The Center for Comprehensive Weight Loss for your weight loss surgery, you can answer yes to all of the questions above. At CCWL you get more than just surgery. You get a comprehensive support team, including nutritionists, psychologists, fitness trainers and even your own bariatric counselor who, as a former patients themselves, really understand what you’re going through.
