ThinnerFuture is a multidisciplinary surgical program designed for the comprehensive management of patients that are severely obese. Obesity is an increasing national health problem and can significantly contribute to the development of multiple problems as well as a much shortened lifespan. Surgery for obesity can play a role in long term, persistent weight loss and can help improve obesity-related medical problems. Together with lifelong exercise and diet changes, patients can achieve long term weight control and a healther lifestyle.

Surgery for obesity is a last resort for patients who are more than 100 pounds overweight and who have not been successful in reducing their weight through other methods such as controlled diets, exercise, or medications.

These procedures are not cosmetic surgery in any fashion and are covered under most health care plans.
