Congratulations for making the decision to find the real you and become
a healthier you! At SurgiLite Medical Group, Inc., we understand that
morbid obesity is a struggle for you and your family. You are not alone
in your battle against obesity; an estimated 127 million adults in the United States
are overweight or obese, and 9 million morbidly obese (BMI greater than 40). So,
what do you do about it? Our medical experts have the answer that could be just
right for you!

The professionals of SurgiLite Medical Group, Inc. are committed to treating
morbid obesity; therefore, this website was developed to raise awareness and to
educate individuals and their families about the risk of obesity, how morbid obesity
is surgically treated, and to encourage a healthier lifestyle. The primary concern at
SurgiLite Medical Group is not only your appearance but also your health because
the risk of death and serious health problems increase with excessive weight gain.

Every year, every day, and every moment, we are faced with making decisions
about our lives. Sometimes decisions are less serious and other times can be life
altering. Contemplating permanent weight loss surgery is one of those decisions
that can be daunting without all the facts. Making a sound decision requires thorough
research; making a knowledgeable decision means gathering all the information;
and making the right decision is looking at all the options.

While the website is designed to address most of your concerns, it does not
take the place of the advice of qualified experts. I encourage you to ask any one of
our SurgiLite medical professionals or administrative staff any questions you may
have so you are fully informed before you make the decision to "find the real you."
