Improving Your Health and Lifestyle Through Weight Loss
How long have you been trying to lose weight?
For many, a good diet and exercise alone are not enough. Years of dieting can result in a poor metabolism and the ability to lose only a small amount of weight without achieving or maintaining significant results. Serious health problems such as diabetes, painful arthritis, thyroid dysfunction, hypertension and respiratory problems also can hinder weight loss.
The Bariatric Treatment Center at Central DuPage Hospital has the tools and expertise to help you lose weight and make the lifestyle changes necessary to keep it off long term.
The Bariatric Treatment Center at Central DuPage Hospital (CDH) utilizes a multidisciplinary approach for the treatment of obesity. We offer both surgical and non-surgical treatment options for weight loss. Surgical Treatment Options include open and laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, as well as the Lap-Band® adjustable laparoscopic gastric banding procedure. Our Medical Weight Management program offers non-surgical treatment of obesity through physician* consultation including an evaluation of contributing health factors, nutritional counseling, behavioral education and consultation with our exercise specialist. Medications for weight loss may be utilized when appropriate.
Regardless of the approach you choose, our program offers personalized care to help you succeed in your weight loss goals within a supportive environment. To learn more about the best options for you, visit "Which Option is Best for Me" section in this website.
