How It Works
A Decision You Don't Make Alone
Dr. Weiner and his Tucson-based team use the Pound of Cure Weight Loss Program to help determine whether bariatric surgery is right for you. Over a 3-6 month period, you'll work closely with Dr. Weiner to develop a personalized approach - evaluating your medical history, dietary patterns, and long-term goals.
This isn't a one-size-fits-all process. Factors like age, past dieting success, mobility, medication use, and family history all inform your plan. Many patients find that the evaluation itself - the education, nutritional counseling based on the Metabolic Reset Diet, and ongoing monitoring - transforms their relationship with food before surgery even happens.
“I work with all individuals, regardless of where they're at in the decision-making process. All candidates benefit greatly from my program - it's a great way to determine if surgery is right for them.”- Dr. Matthew Weiner
