What sets WeightWise apart from so many other programs is our holistic approach to weight loss. For us, surgery is just one part of the equation that helps our clients lose the necessary weight to live a healthy life.
We don’t offer “one-size-fits-all” solutions or hyper-aggressive marketing that overpromises and under-delivers. The “WeightWise Preoperative Process” has been honed over the last 15 years and concentrates on pre-op, surgery, and post-op procedures. Initial consultations focus on risk assessment, risk mitigation, education, and practice on post-operation skills. These are required to meet three goals: A safe operation, massive weight loss post-surgery, and long-term weight loss maintenance, vigor, and health.
