Medical Bariatrics of America, affiliated with Medical Bariatrics of Lexington, has tracked in a database the average weight loss of over 7896 patients since Jan. 2000. Because these results have proven more successful than any other commercial program or medication with documented results, they have been revealed in a series of presentations at local medical practices and at the National Weight Loss Physician programs. Patient cholesterol improvements have also been shown to be statistically better than current cholesterol medication results. It is our hope that by documenting the success of the program, insurances will begin to reimburse the medical expenses of weight loss for patients.

Weight Loss Results (Jan 2000 – Aug 2010)

14,054 patients (avg begin weight 216 pounds)

97.7%   lost significant wt at first follow-up

112,323 lbs lost in first month

11.8 lbs average first month loss

4.5% Average beginning body weight loss in 1^st month

78% lose at least 5% initial body weight (a 50% reduction in DM II risk)

44% lose at least 10% within the first 6 months in our program

75% of patients stay in our maintenance programs

Longer term loss and maintenance is actually more important than first month loss.
