The questions, of course, are:
1. How long will it take?
2. How much weight can I lose?
3. How hard is it?

And here are the answers:

You will also benefit from our education and behavioral change program that enhances your daily activities.

And at the end of those 6 weeks, you’ll have

  • Lost 18-30 pounds of fat (between 3-5 pounds per week).
  • Significantly increased the health of your liver – and decreased it’s size by about 15% (which dramatically improves the surgeon’s ability to perform your surgery).
  • Stopped most or all medications for type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or cholesterol.

Additionally, you can

  • Reduce your chances of post-operation complications.
  • Increase your long-term chances for keeping the weight off permanently.
  • Embrace a healthy new lifestyle with the information and tools you need to make the changes to live in your new lower-weight body.

And you can do all that while having plenty of energy and without feeling hungry. And the best part is that there are no drugs required to get the amazing results we deliver, week in and week out, at OTC. That’s why you’ve been referred to OTC Medical Group: specifically to improve your odds for achieving short and long-term success, and to do that as quickly and easily as possible.

Well if it’s so easy and fast, why doesn’t everyone do it?

We realize that many of you may have tried dieting on your own in the past. Or, you may have enrolled in other formal programs. Either way, surgery can be an effective tool, but most surgeons and insurers require, at a minimum, that you try to lose weight prior to your surgery. In that realm, we are here to do whatever we can to help you reach your goals.

Why wouldn’t this diet alone be the answer?

Many patients who enroll in our non-surgical programs are able to achieve their goals without surgery. However, we refer patients for bariatric surgery as for many, this is the best option to lose weight and keep it off.

After the Weight Loss, Surgical or Otherwise

Once your body adjusts to the surgery – and once clients come off of our exclusive, meal replacement program, which takes all the guesswork out of the equation — you’ll still have to learn how to live in your new, thin body. And without support for doing that, a re-lapse is possible. Our program has such great long-term results because we specialize in providing behavioral support for patients learning to renegotiate life as a thin person.
