Idaho Weight Loss - Program Results

Program Results

Since beginning his practice in Boise, Idaho, Dr. Rader has developed his own Bariatric computer record that allows data collections and tracking of results. He presents these results to local physician groups. He has also been a featured speaker at national conferences for the last five years, teaching other physicians how to become Bariatricians.

As of December 2006, seven years worth of patients, 97.7% of patients lost weight at the first visit. The average weight loss the first month is:

Longer term loss and maintenance is actually more important than first month loss.

Over 80% of patients that make at least three visits lose enough to reduce the risk of diabetes 50%.

Most patients chose to enter our maintenance plan after losing more than 10% of their body weight.

Remember, how other persons did does not tell you anything about you, but these numbers are presented to give you some ideas and to let you know the success the program is having overall.
