Journey to Weight Loss
Weight loss is complicated. You know that better than anyone. Finding a way to lose weight has been a lifelong search for some people. Diet and exercise can work to an extent, but definitely not for everyone. Studies have shown that the chances of a person losing a substantial amount of weight from diet and exercise alone, is very small.
If you feel like you could try diet and exercise one more time before even considering surgery, visit our medical weight loss options section, and learn more about the potential of supplementing your lifestyle changes with an approved prescription drug.
If, on the other hand, you are frustrated with the yoyo-cycle, one option to consider is the weight loss balloon. The balloon is a non-surgical weight loss device that stays in the stomach for 6 months. Generally the balloon is an option for adults with a BMI between 30 – 40.
Bariatric surgery is the safest and most effective means of losing a significant amount of weight and improving the negative health conditions associated with obesity. The majority of the procedures Dr. Kurian performs are bariatric surgeries. These include gastric sleeve, gastric bypass, lap band, and biliopancreatic diversion.
