Weight Loss
O'Fallon MO

It’s important though to understand how much of a problem we are having with weight in the US. According to the National Weight Control Registry, there are about 108 Million people on diets in the United States, and these dieters make about 4-5 attempts each year. There are about 220,000 people with morbid obesity, and the cost for bariatric surgery can range from $11,500 to $26,000.

Another study by the American Journal of Preventative Medicine estimates by 2030 about 42% of US adults could be obese adding $550 billion to health care costs.

Obesity also brings increased risk for other diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer, or even stroke. There’s no better time than right now to make changes to your current lifestyle. Not only will you feel better about yourself, but the changes that will impact you will also make a huge difference for your family!

The reason we have so much success with weight loss at SlimCo Medical Weight Loss is that we know that everyone’s reason for weight gain can be completely different. Weight gain for some patients results from stress or poor lifestyle choices, and for others, it can be more complicated. It’s not uncommon for us to find that some people are pre-diabetic and need assistance with handling blood sugars. Others may struggle with weight loss because of infections or conditions like Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis.

Our team will work together to first find the cause of your weight gain. We use a variety of diagnostics to uncover as much information as we can. Then we will then review that information and make a customized plan that makes sense for you.

The best way to learn more about what we do is to come into the office and meet with one of our health professionals. We will spend the time necessary to create a plan that will work for you.
