Why DayOne Health?
Fighting the Weight Off With Traditional Methods
A weight loss procedure may seem like a drastic solution, but if you feel that all traditional methods didn’t give you the expected results, the lap-band may be the answer. The reason why other weight loss programs failed to help you in the past is that most of them are not designed for significantly overweight patients. Of course, exercising and cutting down on calorie intake alone may be ideal if you need to lose 20-30 pounds. Unfortunately, if you need to lose over 100 pounds, traditional methods alone won’t give you the expected long-term results.
Furthermore, regular workout plans, as well as diets, don’t seem to take into account physical limitations of the significantly overweight. It’s very hard to commit to intense workouts when everything seems to be against you. Obstacles such as feeling tired just after walking from your car to the gym door, or that some of the gym equipment is inadequate for your size, may easily discourage you from sticking to the recommended workouts.
The next factor that makes traditional methods much less effective is that the weight loss is either too fast or not fast enough. While some torture themselves with extreme diets, just to give up after two weeks of constant hunger, others try to have smaller portions but barely noticeable results make them fall off the dieting wagon.
In addition, most of the weight loss programs only recommend lifestyle changes, but then leave the rest of the work to you. In contrast, DayOne Health’s comprehensive weight loss program not only advises you on behavior modifications, but also gives you a tool to keep you on track. Could you imagine eating one forth of what you eat now and still feel full? With lap-band it’s possible! You can easily stick to your 1,200 calories per day and still be satisfied.
Because we see and understand challenges you face, we developed a comprehensive weight loss program devoted solely to significantly overweight patients. If you would like to hear more from someone who participated in our program, you can always contact us or call our patient advocate at (312) 239-3838.
Why DayOne Health?
First and foremost, what makes us different from other bariatric clinics is the warmhearted and caring staff ready to assist you every step of your journey. While most bariatric programs just do the surgery and leave the results up to you, we at DayOne Health stay with you until you reach your dream weight and beyond. At DayOne Health we believe that the lap-band procedure is just a beginning, the day one of your new healthier life. This means that in our program we focus not only on preparation and the weight loss surgery itself, but on a comprehensive follow up care and support. Since weight loss journey may be a bumpy ride sometimes, it is important that you always have someone to talk to about the obstacles you may face.
Once the band deals with your hunger, we make sure you follow the path of healthy eating. With us you won’t just go on a diet. You will establish a new healthier lifestyle. Years of experience have shown us that what counts the most is attitude and support. That is why during your regular visits you will always have a chance to talk with bariatric dietitian and a weight loss doctor about your challenges.
Support
Probably the biggest advantage of our program is the fact that we have two lap-band patients on our team. Therefore, any time you will feel like talking about your experience you will have a fellow lap-bander around. Because we love to see our patients succeed, and to give them opportunities to show their successes, in our Chicago clinic we always try to create occasions to meet. Starting from an online social networking page, and to an annual Christmas lap-bander party, we give our patients chance to create the community that helps them succeed.
Experience
DayOne Health clinic is the most experienced and most established lap-band outpatient clinic in Midwest. With over a decade of experience, DayOne Health has helped thousands of patients achieve their weight loss goals. We will share with you our experience and knowledge, not only to help you shed extra pounds, but also to ease your transition into a new healthier lifestyle.
Besides an extensive support and caring staff, we also have strong credentials. Each of our surgeons is board and LAP-BAND® System certified and has an extensive experience in bariatric patient care.
