Dear Southcoast Health Community,
It’s that time of year when we reflect on months past and look ahead to the fresh start a new year brings. With each New Year comes new opportunities, new beginnings and to many of us, this time brings goals to lose weight and become a healthier version of ourselves.
However, studies have shown that a high percentage of those who set weight loss resolutions end up quitting before hitting their target weight. Doing it alone can be difficult and in many instances, a constant struggle, year after year, resulting in frustration and lost hope.
This year, let’s change that!
Let’s make 2024 the year we turn that resolution into a reality. The power to transform your life is in your hands, and you don’t have to do it alone!
Our Southcoast Health Weight Loss Center offers exceptional programs to guide you on your weight loss journey and path to better health.
We know that weight loss isn’t a one size fits all approach and create personalized plans for our patients complete with strategies and goals that are not only achievable but designed for your lifestyle.
We also understand that many times, unsuccessful weight loss attempts have more to do with your body chemistry than your will power. We take a holistic approach to your wellness, addressing the physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual components.
Our weight loss patients have experienced amazing, life-changing results, giving themselves the good health and wellbeing they’ve longed for and deserve.
Weight loss can also improve many common medical issues and provide numerous benefits such as:
- Reduced joint and back pain
- Improved diabetes
- Lower blood pressure
- Improved heart health
- Improved mental health
- Better sleep
- More energy
- Better self esteem
Our F.R.E.S.H. Start Program is a great option for those looking to lose under 80 pounds With a multi-disciplinary process, it aims to teach participants healthy food and recipe options, provides educational information and identifies behavior changes and appetite awareness.
Non-Surgical Weight Loss
For patients looking to lose a substantial amount of weight, weight loss surgery allows you to lose the weight and keep it off.
Weight Loss Surgery
At Southcoast Health our weight loss surgery procedures are safely performed using minimally invasive techniques that help you recover quicker, allowing you to step into your new life faster. We are the region’s leader in weight loss surgery, with well over nine thousand procedures performed.
Our extensive weight loss surgery services include pre-op education to ongoing post-op support such as our weight loss support groups, easily attended from the comfort of your own home.
Let us help you fulfill your resolution. Take that first step and set up your initial consultation to speak with one of our experienced providers or attend one of our informational weight loss seminars. Together, we can discuss your weight loss health needs and goals, and identify the right weight loss tools for you.
