Support
The essence of any good weight loss program is the combination of appropriate diet management, behavioral counseling, exercise prescription, and support. The first three take place in our office when you visit with our doctor. Support is the function of our support groups.
 
Losing weight can be an uncomfortable ordeal, when attempted alone. Only others who have tried before, and experienced the emotional and physical turmoil that can accompany a person on this journey, can understand what a person may experience. Sharing this knowledge with others helps both to overcome any barriers that one can encounter. This is the role of our support groups. Attendance makes the battle easier, helping a person to overcome whatever emotional barriers they may encounter on their path to better health. Sometimes, a person is totally unaware of the past experiences that have led to the overeating and resultant overweight.
 

Patients who do not attend support groups only cheat themselves!
