Welcome to W8MD Weight Loss Centers of America.
Did you know that 1 in 3 people have insulin resistance or are considered “pre”
diabetic which could be the main reason that people are overweight? Losing just
5-10% of your weight will help you reduce risks of heart attacks, diabetes and
even some cancers.
Under the direction of Dr. Prab Tumpati, W8MD Weight Loss Centers was
founded a year ago because of his passion to overcome obesity and to make
a difference. Dr. Tumpati has passed a written board examination in the field
of Bariatric Medicine and is also Board Certified in Sleep Medicine and Internal
Medicine. The doctor’s of W8MD partner with each patient to develop a custom
weight management program to best meet their individual needs taking into
account their medical history, lifestyle and goals.
Since weight and sleep go together, most of the W8MD centers are able to
address sleep issues such as snoring, obstructive sleep apnea, narcolepsy,
insomnia and restless leg syndrome to name a few.
And the best part of the program is that most insurance’s cover the doctor visits.
Check out our website at www.w8md.com to learn more about us. If you have a
little or a lot of weight to lose and want to do it without surgery, set up fees and
mandatory meal replacements or appetite suppressants, think W8MD for weight
loss.
And, if you are a physician, with an interest in helping your obese or overweight
patients, and would like to add a W8MD program at your office, please feel free
to contact us.

2. Introduction
Two-thirds or more than 190 million Americans, are
overweight or obese.
Obesity-related diseases are a $147 billion dollar
medical burden every year.
Childhood obesity tripled in the last thirty years.
Rates of adult obesity now exceed 20 percent in 49
states and D.C and 25 percent in 40 states. In
1991, rates did not exceed 20 percent in a single
state.
Approximately 25 million U.S. children are obese or
overweight. Rates of childhood obesity have more
than tripled since 1980.
3. Health Consequences
Obesity and physical inactivity are risk
factors in more than 20 chronic diseases,
including type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and
some forms of cancer.
More than 20 million American adults have
type 2 diabetes, and 54 million more are pre-
diabetic.
One in every three Americans has metabolic
syndrome.
Two million adolescents have pre-diabetes.
4. Health Consequences
More than 75 percent of hypertension cases
can be attributed to obesity
Estimates show that excess body fat is
linked to 49 percent of endometrial cancers,
35 percent of esophageal cancers, 28
percent of pancreatic cancers, 24 percent of
kidney cancers, 21 percent of gallbladder
cancers, 17 percent of breast cancers, and
nine percent of colorectal cancers.
Obesity increases a child’s risk for a range of
health problems and negatively impacts
mental health and school performance.
5. High Costs
Obesity-related medical costs are nearly 10
percent of all annual medical spending.
Obesity is associated with lower productivity
at work, costing employers $506 per obese
worker per year.
As an individual’s Body Mass Index (BMI)
increases, so do the number of sick days,
medical claims, and health care costs
associated with that person.
6. Alarming Trends
Over 23 percent of American adults report that they
do not engage in any physical activity.
Only 56 percent of high school students had a
physical education class at least once a week, and
only 33 percent of high school students had daily
physical education.
Almost 33 percent of high school students watch
three or more hours of TV and close to 25 percent
of high school students play video or computer
games or use a computer for non-school activities
for three or more hours on an average school day.
7. Alarming Trends
Approximately 75,000 new cases of
diabetes, 14,000 new cases of coronary
heart disease, and $1.4 billion in health care
costs can be attributed to the consumption of
sugar sweetened beverages.
Spending in fast food restaurants has grown
more than 18 times (from $6 billion to
$110billion) in the past 30 years.
8. Market and Need Analysis
A recent U.S. government survey
indicated that 50 percent of American
adults felt their weight was too high and
that 80 percent of the respondents
intended to start a diet or fitness
program within the next six months to
correct their weight problem. This
survey fact alone is reason enough to
start a weight loss clinic.
