With the initial evaluation some blood tests and cardiac work up may be required before initiating an exercise program or using some appetite suppressant therapies.
Dietary counseling, psychological assistance and exercise program development are key components to success in certain individuals.
We have affiliations with an onsite registered dietician and psychological evaluations. We are also affiliated with Pacer Fitness, Curves, and Jim Thorpe Rehabilitational services to assist with exercise program development.

Supplements
We feel certain supplements are mandatory for everyone and it is sometimes difficult to find high quality products. We have identified 2 institutions that we believe place an emphasis on quality:
Bariatric Advantage: Specializing in surgical weight loss malnutrition and supplemental support. They offer a full line of vitamins, minerals and protein products designed specifically for gastric band, gastric sleeve, and gastric bypass patients. For More information, click the following link: http://www.bariatricadvantage.com/service/referrerCode?referrer=WLCO
Wellness International (WIN): Offering much more than just nutritional supplements this company is pioneering a new concept of wellness by natural products. Their products are of the highest quality and they come with a 100% money back guarantee. The product line is first rate and my staff and I have tried the majority of the products and found them extremely beneficial.

Feel free to view the sites and order online or through our office. Let me know how you feel regarding the products you use, and feel free to ask questions regarding supplements you are unsure about.
