Bariatric medicine is the medical specialty that deals
specifically with the treatment of overweight and obese
individuals. A bariatrician is a licensed physician (Doctor of
Medicine [MD] or Doctor of Osteopathy [DO]) who, as a
member of the American Society of Bariatric Physicians
(ASBP), has received special training in bariatric medicine, the
medical treatment of overweight and obesity and its associated
conditions. Bariatricians address the obese patient with a
comprehensive program of diet and nutrition, exercise, lifestyle
changes and, when indicated, the prescription of appetite
suppressants and other appropriate medications.

While any licensed physician can offer a medical weight loss
program, members of the ASBP have received extensive
continuing medical education of specialized knowledge, tools
and techniques which enable them to tailor programs to
specific patient needs. ASBP members are uniquely equipped
to treat overweight and obesity and associated conditions.
A physician-supervised medical weight loss program may be
the safest and wisest way to lose weight and maintain the loss.
Overweight and obesity are frequently accompanied by other
medical conditions, such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension,
high cholesterol and more. A bariatric physician is well trained
to detect and treat these conditions.
