GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) -
Currently, Michigan is the fifth fattest state in America. The incidence of diabetes associated with obesity is increasing dramatically. The Spectrum Health Medical Group team includes Jon L. Schram, MD, FACS, Medical Director, Bariatric Surgery and he shares many weight loss options that you may want to consider including the following:
Weight Loss Options
· Nutrition counseling
· Exercise counseling
Surgical Weight Loss
· Bariatric surgery in the state of Michigan is done as safely as gallbladder surgery.
· Both gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy have been shown in clinical trials to cause remission of diabetes, more reliably than the best medical treatment.
· Bariatric surgery also satisfactorily treats obstructive sleep apnea, hypertension, and high cholesterol.
