INTERVENTIONIST TREATMENTS FOR OBESITY
It seems like there are infinite options to lose weight: low calorie diets, diets that restrict certain food types, pharmaceutical products, extreme exercise programmes, etc...However it is rare to maintain the results of these in the long run. In order to treat obesity and end the problem, solid scientifically tested solutions are needed.

Serious and morbid obesity is a multifaceted problem where a number of factors are involved (medical, psychological, social, genetic and nutrition). This is why its treatment must be conducted in a coordinated way with a unique procedure for each patient.

Scientific evidence shows that a team of specialists in the different areas of obesity treatment (surgical, medical or a combination) significantly improve the final result.
