It is a seminar for people that do not have the time to attend a seminar. Learning all of your options in weight loss surgery can take time. You may be one of many people whose life is overflowing in its fullness...taking care of children and/or a demanding career. Dr. Simpson has created a Lap-band seminar online just for you. The difference in this seminar and others on the web is that this one is presented by the surgeon himself. Dr. Simpson personally has created a series of videos about the Lap-band and the lifestyle of living with the band. You can learn everything you need to know about Lap-band surgery directly from one of the most experienced (yet affordable) surgeons in the world. Terry's videos really allow you to get to know him.
Diet, exercise, and medical weight loss programs often fail because your body has a genetic set-point for you to be overweight. You may be a person that can’t lose weight despite serious lifelong attempts at weight control using diet and exercise.
Permanently lose weight…you DON'T have to live with severe obesity
Being severely overweight can limit your enjoyment and pleasure in life. It can limit your mobility, making it difficult for you to keep up with your spouse and your friends. It makes you less able to enjoy simple pleasures like playing with your kids or grandchildren. We have support groups and seminars, nutrition classes, non-surgical programs, and the surgical solution with an aftercare program that will help you succeed with weight loss. Most of all we are people that care and together we will regain your active life.
Why Lap-band Surgery?
The adjustable gastric laparoscopic band (lap-band) is the most safe weight loss surgery available today. While no surgery is without risk, the Lap-band does not surgically alter your digestive system and is the least invasive method. The Lap-band is the most modern weight loss surgery available. Outdated Gastric bypass procedures including Duodenal switch ("Biliopancreatic Diversion" (BPD/DS)), Roux-en-y (RNY), and Vertical banded gastroplasty surgery ("stomach stapling") require major surgical modifications to your stomach and intestinal tract. Our goal is to educate every patient about which operation is safe for them and how they can decrease surgical risk. We are committed to safe weight loss surgery with the finest aftercare and support.
Our LIFETIME support in healthy weight loss is the best there is...
...nothing comes close to the quality of our support groups anywhere else. Dr. Simpson invests much more personal time and resources into his programs than the average doctor. How does Dr. Simpson promote your good health? One way is through nutritional support groups hosted by a registered dietitian (and the doctor himself). Our support groups not only cause patients to lose weight and keep it off, they also help them regain health. Only 27% of women and 19% of men report eating the recommended five servings of fruits and vegetables each day. Poor diet can cause obesity. Beyond a person’s heredity, poor dietary habits can contribute to heart disease and diabetes. Dr. Simpson supplies you with every tool you need to be thin AND healthy without losing the pleasures of food. Support is the critical difference between Dr. Simpson's organizations and lesser organizations such as franchises that are quick to sell you surgery without real support. Support is the key to success. For some patients true results can only be obtained and maintained with comprehensive support. We provide the finest support for your entire lifetime and it is included in the cost of surgery.
If there is a cure for cardiovascular disease and diabetes, the treatment will include diet and exercise. Between 20% and 30% of the nation’s adults (some 58 million people) are obese and thus have a higher risk for heart attack, high blood pressure (hypertension), high cholesterol (atherosclerosis), and diabetes. Morbid obesity can limit your ability to exercise. If you are overweight and want to avoid symptoms of heart disease or diabetes your doctor will tell you to lose weight and to exercise. We will help you change your life with diet and exercise.
Terry Simpson M.D. is your best choice in weight loss doctors
Doctor Simpson is a weight loss surgery specialist and an author of books about non-surgical weight reduction that present the subject in the simplest terms. He delivers the exact program you need without overwhelming you. His book “Weight Loss Surgery – A Lighter Look” covers every aspect of surgical treatment for weight loss. It delivers more information in common language than any other source about surgical weight loss.
Doctor Simpson is one of the most experienced bariatric surgeons
Our weight loss center has been chosen by more Arizonans for their LAP-BAND surgery, than any other practice in Arizona. The LAP-BAND is the only weight loss operation we do. We not only have the most experience with the operation than any other practice, we offer the most comprehensive after-care program and support in the country. Dr. Simpson received his undergraduate, graduate, and medical degrees from The University of Chicago, and conducted his surgical residency at Virginia Mason Medical Center in Seattle. He is a member of the American Society of Bariatric Surgeons, and is a Fellow in The American College of Surgeons. He is a certified proctor for Allergan, the manufacturer of the LAP-BAND – uniquely qualifying him to teach other surgeons around the country and the world how to perform the LAP-BAND bariatric procedure.
True experience in Lap-band surgery produces the best results
Safe results are due to a skilled surgeon's true experience. Only through experience can a surgeon learn how to minimize surgical trauma to the patient. Unnecessary incisions and motions are learned and eliminated from the procedure resulting in reduced surgery time. An experienced surgeon will have mastered every contingency in case of emergency or any deviation from the norm. This kind of experience is not held by a staff of surgeons but is only represented by each individual surgeon's experience with a specific surgery. Some franchised organizations claim to have executed thousands of Lap-band surgeries...and they claim those high numbers as evidence their surgeons have experience. Dr. Simpson being a proctor for Allergan, the producer of the Lap-band, trains surgeons on many of these large franchise company's staff. At the time of this writing, he knows for a fact that at least one of these franchises has surgeons that have done as few as five (5) Lap-band surgeries. He knows this because he trained them. In addition to doing more Lap-band surgeries than any doctor in Arizona, Dr. Simpson trains most of the independent surgeons in Arizona too.
Dr. Simpson's expertise in adjusting your Lap-band is unequaled. He will have you eating in comfort while achieving the maximum weight loss possible. Our program offers you tremendous savings while receiving the most professional and competent medical treatment there is. For those of you new to the Lapband, remember it is designed to be adjusted to your system. Over your entire lifetime, you can always count on it to be tuned to make you a thinner person, without surgical adjustments. Remember, no other procedure is adjusted without surgery. Once the Lap-band has stabilized frequent adjustments are not necessary. At LEAST once a month we have a drawing for a free fill.
