LESS EMOTION—MORE SCIENCE

The truth is that lean muscle mass, overall body composition, vitamin D level, testosterone and estrogen levels, muscular fitness, and a lot more, are all important in maintaining a healthy metabolism and a healthy weight. Focusing only on weight loss will not give you lasting health.
Many common diseases occur more frequently in people with an unhealthy metabolism.
Examples:

• Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) – includes infertility, acne, insulin resistance or diabetes, excessive bleeding, weight gain and depression.
• High Cholesterol – the correct term is hyperlipidemia, and this can involve high total cholesterol, high low-density lipoprotein, and high triglycerides. All of these increase your chance of heart attack, stroke, and amputation.
• Hypertension – well-known to cause heart failure, kidney failure, and more.
• Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) – associated with high triglycerides, insulin resistance, excessively high insulin levels, total body inflammation.
• Metabolic Syndrome – the definition involves diabetes, low HDL cholesterol, high triglycerides, abdominal obesity, hypertension. Increasing risk of heart attack and stroke.

Focusing on metabolic fitness rather than simply popping pills or taking shots to be skinny will help you dramatically improve your physical function, increase your health as you age, and maximize your ability to maintain a healthy weight.

SURGICAL EXCELLENCE

There is the right way to perform weight loss surgery, and there are many wrong ways. Unfortunately, if your surgery is done wrong, you usually won’t know it. You may experience weight loss early on, only to plateau at a higher weight and regain weight easily. Mediocre surgeons often tell their patients that the problem is that they aren’t following the “sleeve diet” or something stupid like that, when the real problem is that their surgery isn’t working. Dr. Quebbemann is widely respected as one of the best technical weight loss surgeons in America and his standards are high. As a rule, he takes the extra steps needed to maximize long-term success.
