Way to go, Patty!❤️

Patty chose weight loss surgery so she could be more active with her family, and look at her now! Today she’s hiking, adventuring, shopping with her girls, and feeling confident in clothes she never imagined wearing. Even the little things, like better sleep and more morning energy, have made a huge difference.

If you’ve been thinking about taking the first step, Patty’s journey is a powerful reminder that it’s never too late to choose yourself.

Does BMI still matter in 2026?

BMI can be a helpful starting point, as it uses height and weight to flag potential health risks, but it doesn't:
⚠️ Measure body fat vs. muscle
⚠️ Show where fat is stored
⚠️ Tell your full health story

Our expert team goes beyond the scale, combining BMI with clinical insight to create a personalized plan tailored to your body and long-term health.

📅 Take a smarter approach to weight loss in 2026

Losing weight shouldn’t mean losing muscle.💪❌

One of the most overlooked risks during a weight loss journey is muscle wasting, which can slow your metabolism, decrease strength, and make long-term weight maintenance more difficult. Protecting lean muscle takes more than just cutting calories. It requires the right balance of medical guidance, nutrition, and individualized care.

At Iowa Weight Loss Specialists, we focus on helping you lose fat while preserving muscle, so your results are healthier and sustainable.
