Is bariatric surgery a cure for obesity?
Weight-loss surgery is a tool, not a cure. Morbid obesity is a disease requiring lifelong treatment. For long-term success in achieving and maintaining a healthy weight, you will need to commit to lifestyle changes such as regular exercise and a healthy food plan. The Louisiana Center for Weight Loss Surgery’s Total Lifestyle Care™ program provides a team of professionals – your surgeon, nutritionists and lifestyle counselors – to guide you as you learn and apply new habits. You will be an active participant in improving your own health.
