New hope for severe obesity

You've tried every fad diet, appetite suppressants and other miracle pills guaranteed to melt away the fat, and you're still not able to lose that extra weight. Or, you've managed to drop a few pounds only to gain them back again and more.

You're not alone. According to the Surgeon General, sixty-one percent of all Americans are classified as overweight or obese. And with heightened risks for heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and cancer, carrying extra weight can be a matter of life and death.

The Center for Weight Management can help you meet your weight-loss goal. Find out how ยป
