Nutritional Counseling

New Life Surgical Associates offers nutritional counseling that will help you kick-start a healthy lifestyle and fitness routine. Expert medical professionals will guide you through the process of changing your lifestyle so that you can lose weight and improve your overall health through strategic diet changes and exercise routines. They will work with you and come up with the diet plan and exercise routine that will work best for you and your overall goals and lifestyle.

Medication

We can also prescribe supplements or appetite suppressants to aid in your dietary efforts. Appetite suppressants will help you lose weight and keep it off by reducing your cravings for junk foods and increasing your ability to feel full after eating. Combining dietary changes and appetite suppressants can have great effects for people looking to lose quite a bit of weight.

Surgical Procedures

New Life Surgical Associates offers various types of surgical procedures to people who are morbidly obese and struggling to lose weight on their own. These methods of weight loss are reserved for people with a certain BMI or higher and are particularly helpful for people with type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and/or sleep apnea.

Adjustable Gastric Banding

Adjustable gastric banding is a versatile procedure that will alter the digestive process in the body, encouraging weight loss by decreasing the size of the stomach.

Gastric Bypass Procedures

Gastric bypass procedures are historically the most common procedures used to help induce dramatic weight loss.

Sleeve Gastronomy

This procedure involves removing 2/3 of the stomach and is not reversible. It will permanently shrink the volume of the stomach to provide lasting, long-term effects.
