"My husband has always loved me for who I am. But when I continued to gain weight, I became very sensitive and unhappy. I was always tired. I even had a hard time just walking up stairs. When I thought about how hard just simple tasks like yard work were, I knew I had to do something about my weight.That's when I called John Morgan, MD at Medibar. I am a new woman now. Thank you Medibar."

"If you have a weight problem, you know the extra pounds make life frustrating. What bothered me most was that I couldn't get down in the floor to play with my kids. Finally, I quit feeling sorry for myself and did something about it. A friend had told me about Medibar and on my first visit I realized I had found a truly caring medical staff that was educated and trained in the medical specialty of weight loss, Bariatric Medicine. They helped me to lose 100 pounds and changed my life forever. I feel great."

"I was always so tired. On weekends all I wanted to do was sleep. But I didn't feel well, and I had trouble sleeping. I was over weight, and that was what was causing my fatigue. Then the doctor told me about Medibar. The change has been incredible. I work out with my daughters, play golf, jog, and have more fun than I've ever had in a long, long time."

Some Facts...

Medical experts now agree that It's Not Your Fault and that being overweight is a Chronic Disease that should be treated only by medical specialists. That medical specialty is called Bariatric Medicine.

Being overweight is increasing at an alarming rate in the United States occurring across virtually all-ethnic, racial, and socioeconomic populations and all age groups. The combined prevalence of overweight men is 59.4% and for women 50.7%. An estimated 97 million adults in the US are overweight and are at much higher risk for contracting more than 30 medical conditions including Type 2 Diabetes, Hypertension, Coronary Heart Disease, Respiratory Problems, Gallbladder Disease, Cancer, Sleep Apnea, Arthritis, and Stroke. Some 300,000 deaths a year can be attributed to being overweight.

The psychological affects of being overweight can be devastating to the overweight patient, precipitating a poor self image which limits every aspect of their potential, and can lead to depression.
