Obesity is linked to many health problems and diseases that require medical attention. At St. John Weight Loss Center, our physicians are trained to recognize these conditions and to monitor changes in your health as your weight changes. Because our patients typically lose a significant amount of weight quickly, we require medical monitoring to reduce health risks and to adjust the program, as necessary. Some of our programs do not include mandatory medical supervision, however, if you opt to get on a rapid weight loss track you will be medically-monitored to ensure your health and safety.
