The Rush Approach to Weight Loss
Rush provides many options for weight loss in Chicago, Aurora, Oak Park and the surrounding area. Weight loss services include medication management, nutrition services and minimally invasive procedures, including bariatric surgery and endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty.
Our first step is getting to know you. What has worked and what hasn't? What challenges do you face in balancing your personal, family and work lives — and how have they affected your weight and overall health?
Your team, which can include medical weight loss experts, dieticians, gastroenterologists and surgeons, take your unique needs into account as we work with you to create a weight loss plan tailored for you.
