Why Weight-Loss Surgery? 

Weight-Loss Surgery at JourneyLite^SM

You know the cycle all too well – you diet and lose weight only to gain it back (and more!), and then get frustrated with yourself and tailspin into feelings of shame and guilt. 

You are not alone and you are not a failure. 

For years, dieting, exercise, and weight-loss medications have been prescribed as the answer to excess weight problems.  But success by these methods is rarely achieved long term.  The result is a “yo-yo” dieting syndrome, where you continually gain and lose weight and slow down your body’s metabolism – the rate at which it can burn fat.  This yo-yo cycle increases your risk of serious health consequences and psychological and emotional issues, and simply does not work. Consider these facts: 

• People on diets, exercise programs or weight-loss medications are able to lose approximately ten percent of their excess body weight, but tend to regain two-thirds of that weight within one year, and almost all of the weight is regained within five years.[1]
• Less than five percent of people in weight-loss programs are able to maintain their weight-loss after five years.[2]

But there is hope.

Weight-loss surgery has been proven to be an appropriate and successful treatment for the disease of obesity.[3]  In fact, surgical treatment for the disease of obesity is the only proven solution for long-term weight-loss and resolution of co-morbidities and associated diseases or conditions caused by obesity.
