Center for Weight Loss Success

Prior to 2014, I had been battled being healthy for over 34 years. My weight was always an issue. The Center for Weight Loss Success helped me learn how to eat by supplying me with multiple tools to achieve healthier physical and mental habits.
I lost over 70 pounds since February 24^th, 2014. I have maintained a healthy weight since then. None of this would have been possible without Dr. Clark and his amazing and loving team at the Center for Weight Loss Success. They saved me! I’m now able to live a full and happier life! I went to the seminar to learn about what type of programs they offered.
I knew going in I was looking for something more than a diet and exercise plan. I was thinking strongly about weight loss surgery. I had tried two different low-​carb programs for two years prior to coming to CFWLS. I lost only 30 pounds and then I could not lose more. At 216 pounds and 5’2″ I did not want to wait any longer to become healthy. I was not sleeping and I couldn’t breath and moving had become harder and harder. I also dreamed of becoming a mother. Doctor’s had recommended losing a significant amount of weight in order to help us conceive.
I met the most amazing person after the seminar. Denise Cooper. She told us her story and answered questions. It was not scripted and you could tell it came from her heart. She was changed inside and out! She lost over 140 pounds and was a new person! She is to this day my inspiration. I hope to help others like she helped me. But it was the Center for Weight Loss Success that helped her be this inspiration for so many of us! Before and after my surgery each member of the team was there for me each step of the way. Cat Williamson took charge of getting all the correct paper work done for the insurance side of the surgery. She held my hand because it can be scary thinking and getting approved, but it was not with her leading the first part of the journey! All the liaisons at Sentara Hospital were amazing and very supportive on and after the day of surgery. They even called me at home to see if I had any questions.
Two weeks later I was able to make it back to the Center for Weight Loss Success for my Weight Management University. WOW! It was a blessing. Many other facilities do not offer this amazing benefit! So you get the surgery but you still need support and you still need to change your habits! Well, Center for Weight Loss Success’s Weight Management University does just that for you. Every Monday we have a cool support class for all patients and then every day there is a physical exercise class that is almost individualized so you can learn how to move again at your biggest but also moves you towards your healthiest! There are also video sessions off-​site, counseling on-​site, and packets that come in the mail with tons of information for each step towards success!

Dr. Clark is behind all of this and he is an amazing doctor. He knows what he’s doing and very knowledgeable. The staff are wonderful and courteous. Every time you walk in, you are made to feel welcomed, no judgements at all.
Dr. Clark’s clinic offers many options from surgical procedures to weight loss programs to help with dieting/​exercising. They have an in-​house gym that you can use for a membership fee. Everything is state of the art within the gym.
The staff are knowledgeable and walk you through the entire process. You are never clueless or intimidated.
They hold monthly/​weekly free weight loss seminar to see what program is right for you. Alot of the medical insurances are accepted here and if you dont have insurance, they have a payment plan.
If you are ready to change your life, I would give it a shot and attend one of their free 2 hr long seminar to find out if what he has to offer is good for you. What are you going to lose? Nothing, just gain knowledge.
I, myself, have participated in their weight loss program and I have to say that in 4 weeks, I have lost 26 lbs. I am a walking success, thanks for Dr. Clark!
