We hear patients say, "change my weight, don't change my life." Wouldn't it be nice if that were possible? While there is no magic to losing weight, it does take a strong commitment to change life style habits. The only way you will be able to control weight gain is to understand your body; how it stored and metabolizes (uses) fat. Dr. Harbison says, "when you master certain skills, you can gain control over your body's reaction to food rather than weight."

Dr. Harbison believes that dieters do better with choices. In our bariatric practice, you'll have choices - from the type of diet selected to the food products and prescription appetite suppressants that Dr. Harbison might prescribe if appropriate. Just as no two people are alike, neither are our diets. With the help of his trained staff, Dr. Harbison will design your program to fit your lifestyle, food preferences and goals.
