Want to Lose Weight? You Don’t Have to Do It Alone
A new Yale weight loss center aims to provide the entire continuum of care for patients with obesity, as a growing body of evidence has shown that weight loss—be it surgical or nonsurgical—also prolongs life, restores mobility, and lowers the risks of cancer, heart disease, liver disease, and other serious illnesses. “You start to get an idea of what a burden obesity is when you relieve patients of that burden. They were affected, literally, from head to toe,” says John Morton, MD, MPH.
