Obesity is a Disease
FIND TREATMENT THAT TRULY FITS YOU
If you’ve struggled with obesity, you know that simply moving more and eating less doesn’t always work. That’s because obesity is a disease that changes your body. Sometimes, these changes can cause serious diseases like cancer, diabetes, heart disease and sleep disorders. And, just like other diseases, obesity isn’t a choice or a reflection of your character.
At the MetroHealth Weight Loss Surgery & Weight Management Center, we have many options to treat your obesity. We understand that obesity is a disease—and deserves to be treated like one.
Our team truly cares, and many of our providers have their own weight loss journeys. We’ll work with you to set goals, choose treatment options and live a healthier life. You’re unique, and you deserve treatment that truly fits your needs.

About Weight Loss Medication
Weight loss medication—a type of medicine called GLP-1s—can help you lower your blood sugar and lose weight by:
- Telling your brain that you are full or satisfied from the food you eat
- Slowing your digestion to help you feel full
Your team will help decide if these medications are right for you.
