Announcement:

At Tucson Weight Loss Surgery we believe that everyone deserves an individualized approach to weight management. Not everyone will qualify for, or want, bariatric surgery.

THE PROGRAM OFFERS:

-A thorough evaluation and frequent visits with our Physician Assistant, Claire Pauley, who has extensive training in obesity medicine.

-A comprehensive treatment plan specifically designed for you including proper nutrition, physical activity, behavioral modification, and medications when appropriate.

-Frequent, individualized, dietary counseling with our Registered Dietitian, Zoe Schroeder, in both group and individual sessions with a focus on whole foods.

-Utilization of evidence-based anti-obesity medications, when indicated, to help patients overcome the frustrating metabolic adaptations that occur with weight loss.

-Ample additional support along the way with educational handouts, recipe ideas, tips for success, in-depth videos, and more.

-Telemedicine options for appointments and classes.

-Long-term follow-up! We understand that weight control is often a lifelong journey and we are here to support you every step of the way.
