Health Risks

If you’re one of thousands of people who face obesity, life may sometimes feel like a burden. The extra weight you are forced to carry can curtail your health (cardiac, breathing or joint problems; heartburn), your career (being passed over for promotion), your self-image (loss of sex appeal), even your ability to have fun (movie seats are too small, constant aches and pains).

But there is hope for leading a healthier, more normal life.

The Surgical Weight Loss Clinic, under the guidance of Dr. Ross Fox, is the leading practice of its kind north of Los Angeles. Dr. Fox has performed more than 6,000 procedures. The SWLC offers obese people proven options for losing weight and leading happier lives. For example, we perform a minimally invasive surgery that has many clients home in less than 24 hours. More importantly, it allows patients to lose most of their excess weight.
