The truth is most quick weight loss solutions have you gaining it back just as quickly once the diet is over. Aren't you sick of the roller coaster? If you're ready to make a real commitment to weight loss, the Center for Metabolic and Weight Loss Surgery at Columbia University Medical Center in Manhattan, NYC can help.

At the Center for Metabolic and Weight Loss Surgery, they take an integrative approach to weight loss; combining the skills of surgeons, registered dietitians, behavioral therapists, and other support staff. The Center has been named an American College of Surgeons Center of Excellence, and they have a five star rating from Heath Grades. The Surgeons tend to perform laparoscopic procedures, which involve less incision and therefore have a quicker recovery time and less scaring.

After the procedure, you'll need encouragement as you continue to loose weight, which is why they have support groups for those who undergo procedures. Most patients tend to drop weight at the rate of 1-2 pounds a week or 3-4 pounds depending on the procedure. The total amount of weight lost will depend on the type of procedure, and your ability to adapt to a new diet and exercise lifestyle.
