There are many reasons why some people have difficulty avoiding obesity. Usually, obesity results from a combination of inherited factors, combined with the environment and personal diet and exercise choices.

Bi-Annually Follow up visits
After the initial treatment has been completed we perform  visits every 6 months  to make sure the weight is mantained for a permanent weight  loos with no “re-bound”
