A Message from Dr. Steven Hendrick
Obesity can severely affect the quality of your life - many obese people are plagued with social pressures and low self-esteem, and find daily tasks like tying shoelaces, getting in and out of cars and shopping challenging.
And there are the health issues - obesity is strongly associated with high blood pressure, infertility, arthritis, diabetes, heart and lung disease and a shortened life span.
You don't have to remain uncomfortable, unhealthy or depressed. Henry Ford Wyandotte's Bariatric program offers hope for obese people who have tried to lose weight without success.
