The Principals Of Our Program
Obesity is an illness and should be treated as such. Everyday for
the rest of your life.
Causes of obesity are beyond the patient's control. Being obese
is not the fault of the patient.
The anorectic medications are safe and effective. Their use is
no longer limited to 12 weeks. They may be used for long periods
as long as they give good clinical response.
As you join our program you will find yourself in a pleasant atmosphere,
where the doctor and the personnel pledge to you their support and
encouragement. You, of course, are asked to do your share. Should
your weight loss be inadequate, we will attempt discretely to find
out why and correct the cause of the failure. (Without shouting
at you, degrading you or upsetting you.) We will be happy for your
success and we will express our feeling by sincere and kind rewards.
