Dr. Todd’s Teaching Assessment
First and foremost, great job Dr. J. Each patient that walks through our door comes with a unique set of circumstances that motivates them to do the SHAPE Program. Although “weight loss” is often the motivation to do the SHAPE Program, there is often an overriding need to shed this toxic weight. Surgical risk is increased exponentially in the morbidly obese population. Simply stated, no surgical procedure can be done unless the patient sheds their excess weight.
My second patient that lost over 200 pounds was required to drop weight so he could have bilateral knee replacement. His weight was at 443 pounds when he started the SHAPE Program and he ended at 183 pounds. When he returned to his orthopedist for a follow-up, there was no need for knee replacements. His surgeon was amazed. Unfortunately, Dr. J’s patient still requires surgery, but should sail through with her current state of health.
The wonderful side effects of shedding toxic weight are limitless!
