When to see a doctor about your weight.
Your journey to better health starts with a conversation — especially if you have a family history or are at high risk.
“The sooner we start, the better,” says Dr. Tishler. “It’s never too early, and there are very few cases where we can’t reduce cardiovascular risk in some way. Even patients with heart disease — or those who’ve had a heart attack — may still be candidates for bariatric surgery or other obesity treatments.”
A team approach is the heart of weight loss. Surgeons, nutritionists, psychologists and cardiologists collaborate to find the right treatment for you, improving your health now and setting you up for long-term success.
“Bariatric surgery is so much more than weight loss — it’s about improving your quality of life and helping you live longer,” says Dr. Tishler. “What matters most is that you feel better — and it all starts with that first step today.”
