| The Weight Control Center Approach: |
| The Weight Control Center specializes in assisting patients with their weight loss goals to achieve improved health. Our physicians are board certified endocrinologists specializing in the area of bariatric medicine. In addition to offering successful weight loss strategies, we also assess the presence of weight related health risks, such as insulin resistance, diabetes, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, and obstructive sleep apnea. Weight loss may potentially help decrease the risk of developing these conditions or help improve them. At the WCC, we understand that achieving long term weight loss can be a difficult, complex process that requires a multifaceted and individualized approach. We will work with you to develop a comprehensive plan that addresses: |
- Nutrition
- Physical Activity
- Behavioral Modification (such as stress management, problem-solving strategies, and changing unhealthy eating habits)
- Medications
|
| Surgery: |
If you decide that weight loss surgery is the option for you or if you have already had weight loss surgery, we can work with you and your surgeon to assist you in realizing your weight loss goals.
The Weight Control Center will help you develop a weight loss plan that is tailored to your individual needs and particular lifestyle demands in a supportive environment. We invite
you to learn more by calling 212-305-5568 and take steps towards improving your health. |
