There are myriad reasons for weight gain before or after a weight loss surgery. Dr. Billing has years of experience working with patients like you who suffer from obesity and its related effects on your overall health.
He’s a skilled and compassionate surgeon who understands that obesity is a chronic inflammatory disease that causes hormonal and metabolic dysfunction. In addition to weight loss revision options, Transform Weight Loss offers genetic counseling, nutritional coaching, and accountability groups.
In a majority of cases, weight loss surgery provides a long-term solution for obesity and helps thousands of men and women improve their overall health and mental wellness. Sometimes, the surgery is helpful for some weight loss, but there’s weight left to lose or all the weight was initially lost, but you put some of the pounds back on.
