Research has shown that weight loss surgery produces excellent long-term weight loss results.  However, many behavior patterns must be modified simultaneously in order to achieve and maintain desired weight loss. 

Our approach is simple and easy to follow.  Only eat what your body needs now.  Weight loss is achieved by keeping caloric intake below energy expenditure.  Carbohydrates and fats should be kept to a minimum to promote your body’s utilization of stored fuel.  Guess what that is?  Right, Fat!

AIBL has a registered dietician in their staff. All patients will receive a detailed nutritional evaluation before the surgery. At the initial nutritional evaluation the possibility of a specific pre-operative diet is discussed. Following the surgery our dietician is available to patients via phone and email for ongoing issues, questions and counseling. Nutritional evaluation is also scheduled postoperatively at regular intervals in order to address any ongoing issues as well as to ensure nutritional program compliance by the patients.
