Patients who commit to eating a healthy diet, take the required supplements, have routine blood work drawn and incorporate an exercise program into their lifestyle have the best long-term results. It is important to understand that the surgical procedure serves merely as a tool to help you lose weight and keep it off and eliminate or drastically reduce the risk of obesity-related health problems such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, gastroesophageal reflux and certain cancers, and other health problems like depression, hypertension and heart disease. Patients must be committed to making the mental and emotional changes necessary after weight loss surgery to ensure successful weight loss. Committing to positive lifestyle changes in areas such as nutrition, exercise and stress management give you the maximum benefit from bariatric surgery and can help you gain a new and improved outlook on life and an ability to experience a lifestyle you may have only dreamed of having.

But we don’t expect you to make all these changes on your own. The Arnot Health Bariatric Surgery Program offers a full range of services that can help weight loss surgery patients succeed in making lifestyle changes, maximize their weight loss, improve their health, and change their whole outlook on life.
