When I saw Mr. BB for the first time, he told me he had given up all efforts towards losing weight. He attempted many diet programs and exercise with very frustrating results. He had been diagnosed with sleep apnea and atrial fibrillation at young age (Obesity increases risk for heart disease including atrial fibrillation, a condition in which the heart beat becomes irregular and can lead to stroke). He used to play professional football and was missing those days when he was very active, felt lighter and was able to run around playing with his kids.
He easily became short of breath when he tried to exercise. He held a top managerial position at his job and keeping up with job responsibilities was becoming challenging due to fatigue and lack of attention. His weight was affecting his health and quality of life.
During our first visit, we discussed how obesity can change and take control of appetite and metabolism and we identified some treatment approaches specific for his particular weight challenges. He was followed closely and treatment was medically supervised with monthly visits including clinical evaluations and body composition analysis.
At 5 months, he had lost 50 lbs with resolution of sleep apnea, Atrial fibrillation, improvement of mood and mental acuity.
He did an amazing job, braving the odds to take back control of his health and life and trusted us in his weight loss journey.
