Benefits of a Medical Weight Loss Program
A medically supervised weight loss program can improve overall health, boost quality of life, and help you achieve safe, sustainable results. Unlike fad diets, treatment is tailored to your individual needs and monitored by healthcare professionals to maximize success.

✅ Helps improve blood sugar control in people with type 2 diabetes and may benefit those with fatty liver disease.

✅ Helps reduce appetite, cravings, and emotional eating.
✅ Supports gradual, sustainable body fat loss while helping preserve muscle mass when combined with a healthy lifestyle.
✅ May improve sleep apnea and reduce joint pain by lowering excess body weight.

Semaglutide and Tirzepatide
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 medication that helps reduce appetite, increase feelings of fullness, and support gradual, sustainable weight loss.
Treatment is personalized for each patient following a medical evaluation, with regular check-ups and ongoing progress monitoring.
Tirzepatide works on both GLP-1 and GIP receptors to help control appetite, prolong feelings of fullness, and promote significant weight loss.
Our program includes a comprehensive medical evaluation, continuous follow-up, and personalized dose adjustments based on each patient’s needs and progress.
Gastric Bypass
Gastric bypass is an established bariatric procedure that creates a smaller stomach pouch and changes the route food takes through part of the small intestine. This helps patients feel satisfied with smaller portions while producing metabolic changes that support significant, long-term weight loss.
Dr. Renato Landa evaluates each patient’s BMI, health, eating habits and weight history before recommending treatment. Ongoing medical follow-up, nutritional guidance and vitamin supplementation are essential after gastric bypass.
Gastric Sleeve
Gastric sleeve surgery, also known as sleeve gastrectomy, permanently removes approximately 80% of the stomach, leaving a smaller, tube-shaped section. This reduces stomach capacity and helps patients feel satisfied with smaller portions.
Unlike gastric bypass, the intestines are not rerouted. Gastric sleeve can support significant weight loss and may improve obesity-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and sleep apnea.
Dr. Renato Landa provides a personalized evaluation to determine whether gastric sleeve treatment is appropriate for your health, BMI and long-term goals.
Gastric Balloon
The gastric balloon is a temporary, non-surgical weight-loss treatment placed inside the stomach through an endoscopic procedure. By occupying part of the stomach, it helps patients feel satisfied with smaller portions and supports better appetite control.
Many gastric balloons remain in place for approximately six months before being removed endoscopically. This treatment may suit patients who want additional weight-loss support but are not ready for bariatric surgery.
