 Obesity and overweight have been linked to many other diseases which can have fatal consequences, such as coronary artery disease, diabetes, and stroke. In California, 36% of all adults are considered overweight, and 25% are classified as obese. California’s overweight averages are actually higher than the national average, which is 34% of all adults. For children, the numbers are even more troubling. One in nine children and one in three teens in California are overweight or obese. This is reflective of the national average, which shows that 18% of all teens suffer from obesity, while nationally 10% of all children between the ages of two and five, and 20% of all children between the ages of six and 11 are obese.
The underlying reasons for this trend have been well-documented, and are hardly surprising: for example, 30% of Californians report that they fail to eat fruits and vegetables at least five times a day. Physical activity is often neglected as well, especially by younger people, with adolescents reporting they spend at least two hours a day, on average, watching television or playing on the computer rather than engaging in physical activity.
1 800 GET THIN believes that obesity is just as serious as any other medical condition. By educating the general public about alternatives to living with obesity, 1 800 GET THIN takes a major step in fighting this trend of obesity in Southern California. By referring individuals who suffer from obesity to fully accredited medical facilities, 1 800 GET THIN has helped thousands start their weight loss journey with LAP BAND.

For those who have been unsuccessful in losing weight, or who have lost weight only to regain it, the LAP BAND system may be the answer to significant weight loss.
