Hope for the nutritionaly challenged,
weight goal solutions for life.

Since the beginning of time, food and water have been the essential elements for the survival of mankind. Unfortunately today, maintaining the proper nutrition for some may be difficult. Today, there are people among us who are “eating to die” and “dying to eat.” These nutritionally challenged are the obese and those who suffer with gastroparesis.

Currently 67% of American adults are inflicted with an illness that is steadily rising and is also starting to inflict the younger population. Obesity, defined as being at least 80 pounds over one’s ideal body weight, is now one of the leading causes of preventable death in the United States. Obesity can lead to medical conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, asthma, heartburn and certain types of cancer.

The remaining 95% will struggle with a perpetual cycle of short term weight loss and weight gain. As a last resort for this population of patients, weight loss surgery may be the solution.
