Hi From New England

Thanks to Linda for providing a great blog ths morning...Your Doc is meeting with a hospital today in Fall River, Mass. to discuss implementing our Serotonin-Plus Weight Loss Program in their bariatric center. They offer surgical procedures but not a medically managed program.

Surgery is the answer for some but not many. We have many people that enter our program who have a surgical procedure and then gain back lots of weight. Why? The answer is that surgery truly does not provide beahvioral modication. Over time, people revert to old eating behaviors and the weight goes back on.

The long term success for weigth loss requires behavioral modification and life style changes. With any type of bariatric surgery you must still provide behavioral guidance and support.

Cold up here!!! Brrrrrr! (This ex-Nuuu Yooorker has developed southern blood!)
