Welcome to Georgia Obesity.com. Each day someone is affected by obesity. Whether it's a family member, neighbor, or co-worker, every person knows someone who is overweight. In America, it is estimated that over one fourth of the population is overweight, and this trend is increasing with each year.

We have all tried to lose weight. Only a small percentage of Georgians are successful with diet and exercise alone. Weight gain for most is not as simple as eating too much and not exercising enough. Just changing your eating habits for a few months does not produce long term weight loss. When trying to cure disease such as Type II Diabetes, Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Osteoarthritis, and Hypertension, more is needed.

With 5 million Americans suffering from morbid obesity, this disease is starting to affect not only our personal lives, but our society. It is estimated that 14% of United States healthcare dollars is spent on the treatment of obesity. If obesity continues to rise at its current rate in the United States, by the year 2020 about one in five health care dollars spent on people ages 50-69 could be consumed by obesity-related medical problems -- up about 50 percent from 2000.

There are numerous options for weight loss. We are dedicated to informing you about the most successful long term option for weight loss. Contained within this site is information that will help you select the best method for you to lose weight. Whether it is with a low calorie diet, exercise, or surgery for morbid obesity, we hope that we can help you in your quest to become healthy.
