Many patients struggle with the decision about whether or not they should elect to have bariatric surgery. Although gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy procedures can offer amazing results, approaching them with the wrong attitude and inappropriate expectations can result in sub-optimal results. Dr. Weiner discusses the pros and cons of surgery as well as helping to find those patients who may be able to succeed without surgery.
Dr. Matthew Weiner is an author and surgeon who specializes in the treatment of obesity. His view on obesity differs from the traditional understanding of calorie balance driving weight loss and weight gain. Dr. Weiner offers both surgical and non-surgical programs in his office and on his website www.poundofcureweightloss.com. His book, A Pound of Cure, details how to change your diet to mimic the changes that occur directly after undergoing bariatric surgery and produce lifetime weight loss.
