At Iowa Weight Loss Specialists, we offer two pathways to support your weight loss goals:  



Medical (Non-Surgical) Weight Loss

  • Ongoing support from a team of obesity specialists, including a nurse practitioner, registered dietitians, and behavioral health therapists
  • Treatment plan including behavior change counseling and medication management (prescription weight loss medications if appropriate)
  • Access to weight loss tools, including a body composition scale, lab tests, and metabolic testing

 



Surgical Weight Loss

  • Gastric sleeve surgery, also known as sleeve gastrectomy (approximately 75% of the stomach is removed)
  • Less invasive procedure compared to gastric bypass (we do not offer gastric bypass)
  • Ongoing pre- and post-surgery support from a team of obesity specialists, including our surgeon, Dr. Eibes, nurse practitioners, registered dietitians, and behavioral health therapists
  • Free mandatory bariatric surgery informational class that explains the procedure, lifestyle changes, and eligibility factors; completing it streamlines scheduling for the surgeon consultation
