74% percent of adults in the United States are overweight or obese. Current treatment recommends nutrition and lifestyle changes, along with medication, for patients who are overweight. These include bariatric surgery as a treatment for those with obesity. Unfortunately, few patients have access to comprehensive care that offers all options; medical and surgical.
Surgery is an effective treatment to some but is only available to those with a body mass index (BMI) of 35 or higher. Weight regain after bariatric surgery affects nearly 30% of patients, and insufficient weight loss affects up to 40%, depending on the type of procedure they get. Offering medical obesity treatment like counseling, medications, diet plans, and support can improve weight loss after bariatric surgery for patients experiencing less than expected weight loss and weight regain. It can be an effective treatment option for patients who do not choose surgical weight loss treatment. An all-encompassing approach is essential for proper success!
The Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP) created a certification designation recognizing the benefits of combining both surgical and medical treatments.
We’re happy to say that here at United Bariatrics of Kansas City in partnership with Centerpoint Hospital, Lee’s Summit Hospital, and St. Joseph Medical Center, we offer both nutritional counselings with a medical approach as well as surgical options to ensure that you have a 360-degree solution for long-term, healthy weight loss.
