Focus 28, Inc., Tarrytown, N.Y., has launched a new website,
focus28.com. The website, which took over two and one half years to
build, is geared to meeting the needs of obese individuals who are
either preparing to undergo bariatric weight loss surgery or have
already undergone the procedure. The multidimensional site includes
lifestyle, nutritional, inspirational and health related information as
well as an online store offering specially formulated prepared great
tasting foods and nutritional supplements designed for bariatric
patients.
Bariatric or weight loss surgery is typically performed to treat
morbid obesity. Almost 70% of bariatric patients gain most of their
weight back. To prevent that from happening and increase the success
rate of the procedure, Focus 28 provides an all encompassing approach
that targets weight loss from all directions.
"Obesity is a multidimensional problem," said Mitch Suss,
the founder and CEO of Focus 28, Inc. That's why our site is geared
to addressing the four pillars of the bariatric experience: nutrition,
fitness, image and empowerment." He then explains, "To build a
site that truly serves the needs of obese individuals we built teams
composed of nutritionists, fitness coaches, bariatric nurses, image
consultants, and legal advocates. They all contribute to the site and
that is what makes Focus 28 such a unique and powerful part of our
bariatric support network."
Focus 28, Inc. is a Tarrytown, New York-based company. It was
formed to provide multidimensional support for bariatric patients,
including lifestyle, inspiration, nutrition and health related
information to bariatric patients through its website, focus28.com. It
also offers a complete line of nutritional supplements and great tasting
prepared foods specifically designed for bariatric patients.
