Brookhaven Obesity Clinic for Extreme Obesity
The Brookhaven obesity clinic is located in New York and specializes in taking care of patients who are considered to be morbidly obese. Some of the patients that end up at the clinic have tried a variety of other treatments and programs with little or no success and have come to the renowned Brookhaven obesity clinic looking for help.
Brookhaven doesn’t offer easy solutions to obesity such as pills or surgery; their plan consists of a healthy diet, exercise and some counseling. The obese patients who have come to the clinic desperately in need of help live at the clinic. Motivation to lose weight is a significant factor for people trying to loose weight at the Brookhaven obesity clinic.
Seriously Obese Patients
Patients at the clinic have such serious obesity conditions that some are at risk of losing a limb due to their extreme obesity while others have a difficult time breathing due to the excess weight crushing their chest. Some of the patients would have opted for surgery but due to their extreme obesity the risks are too great if surgery were performed. Some of the patients living at the Brookhaven obesity clinic are there due to fear of dying from their obesity problem.
The staff at the clinic believe that motivation is a priority otherwise the bad habits of overeating and living a sedentary lifestyle will persist and the patient will not be free from obesity. Like other clinics they suggest people desiring to lose weight keep a diary of all the food and beverages they consume during an average week and then take time to discuss the facts of their diet with a nutritionist or a nurse. Based on the type of foods the patients eat and the amount they consume the calorie intake over a week or a day can be calculated. Knowing the calorie intake of an individual is vital information in order for experts to assist them in losing weight.
Television Program
The TLC channel has a television program that is actually made inside the Brookhaven obesity clinic. At the TLC website they provide a schedule which provides the times the show is being aired on their station and a brief description of the episode. For example, the description of one particular episode mentions an obese patient who weighs 750 pounds and is suffocating due to his extreme weight.
They claim that the Brookhaven obesity clinic has America’s most obese people and the experts at the clinic are attempting to put a halt to their patients’ addictive behavior of overeating before it eventually destroys them. They also mention an episode that features a 400 hundred pound female patient who breaks the rules and sneaks junk food into the Brookhaven obesity clinic. Some viewers watch the program for entertainment but surely others who watch the show are overweight themselves and might become motivated by the show to stop overeating, getting exercise and losing weight.
I just wanted to say that the program I saw last nite was unbelieveable ….I cannot see how this man weighs sooooooooooo much over 700 pounds and he has a trach and to see him eat and eat and not care about his health is alarming…..It is as tho he does’nt care…and when he could not catch his breath…that should have woke him up all I can say is OH MYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY….
requesting info on cost - i am inquiring for a person who presently has no insurance - we are looking into medicare - as he is on disability here in pa any information will be greatly appreciated. thank you
i am requesting info on costs also. i am inquiring about a relative, she has a lot of health issues and everyone just tells her to loose weight. please help
I am interested in further information about your program and your Southern California affiliates. I have a sister who I know has to weight every bit of 400 lbs. plus, with a mass tissue growth in her groin area, and the surgeons have talked about removing the mass tissue growth, but my sister must lose weight in order for the surgery to take place, and that is the problem we are faced with, she is disgusted and has lost her sense of motivation and seeming will to fight for her health. She lives with my 73 year old mother, and without question, this is an emotional wear and tear on my mother, watching a child she loves and brought into the world drowing in her body fat, not to mention the effects on the rest of the family. We live in the Los Angeles, California area, and we simply do not know what to do, but if you could advise us in any manner we would be eternally grateful.
Sincerely,
Curtis D. Morris, Sr.
I would like to inquire about program cost and California affiliates. My mother,64 years, is about 450 pounds and her weight is centralized in her stomach. She has a mantle of fat hanging down to her knees making it extremly difficult for her to walk. I am sadden about her condition because I feel helpless. The doctors that treat her seem not to acknowledge the severity of the problem. She seems to have lost all motivation for life and refuses to get out of bed. My dad cares for her but looks extremly exausted. I feel as though I will soon lose both my parents if I do not find help. Please! guide me to a solution. Thank you for your anticipated response.
There is a particular episode on inside Brookhaven obesity clinic that involves a man by the name of Francisco Garcia. I know him personally, he is a friend of mine and I really want to see his featured episode. If there is anyone out there who knows how I can punch up his episode(I tried everything on my own) please email me and let me know. Thanks bunches in advance.
