What
exactly is bariatrics? The word is derived from the Greek
word "baros" or weight and the medical term "iatrics" (medical
treatment).
The definition of
bariatrics is - The field of medicine that offers treatment for
the person who is
overweight
with a comprehensive program including diet and
nutrition, exercise,
behavior modification, lifestyle changes and, when indicated,
the
prescription
of appetite suppressants and other appropriate medications.
Bariatrics also includes research into overweight, its causes,
prevention, and treatment.
At Bariatric University
Discovery Institute we not only focus on the person who is overweight but
also on persons who are looking to control their weight (this
may be an overweight person or not). Generally speaking
the person looking into bariatrics are people who have come to
an impasse in their lives about their weight and are seeking
alternatives and support with a true and proven methodology.
