Tidewater Bariatrics is a unique medical clinic specializing
in the medical treatment of overweight and obese individuals.
The Chesapeake-based clinic is led by obesity expert Dr. Margaret
Gaglione, FACP, a Board Certified Internal Medicine Physician,
and member of the American Society of Bariatric Physicians.
By introducing a Bariatric physician into the weight-loss process,
individuals gain access to a doctor's knowledge, prescription
medication to help reach goals, and the specialization to treat
even the most complicated cases including those with diabetes,
hypertension, heart disease, sleep apnea or cancer.
Tidewater Bariatrics is one of only two clinics in the Commonwealth
of Virginia that implements into its treatment the highly successful
"HMR Program for Weight Management™ (HMR®)",
a comprehensive diet program that includes intensive lifestyle
education.
Working together, the Tidewater Bariatrics health care team and
HMR program offers patients individualized, medically-supervised
programs to meet weight loss needs. It also provides patients
the latest education on healthy living, nutrition, exercise, and
wellness in order to bring about the lifestyle changes necessary
for lifelong success.
Nationally, 62% of the American population is overweight or obese,
and that number is also reflective of individuals in the Tidewater
area. Dr. Gaglione speaks throughout the area on this issue and
is recognized as one of the leading experts in her field.
It is her pleasure to conduct lectures
or one-on-one talks with doctors, medical staffs, organizations,
interested groups and individuals to highlight the latest medical
treatments of obesity. Because of the doctor's unique approach
to this critical issue, her speeches and workshops are always
well received by audiences.
Always
Consult Your Physician before beginning any Diet or Exercise Program.
