Determining Your Eligibility
For patients with a BMI of 30 or more, medical weight loss may be an option. Medical weight loss can benefit people who are obese when diet and exercise alone haven’t worked. That’s especially true when coupled with debilitating diseases affected by weight, like high blood pressure, sleep apnea, joint pain or diabetes.
