Many of the things they enjoyed in life - being outdoors, socializing, their careers and time with family - had become compromised or challenged by health problems, self-esteem issues and the inconvenience associated with obesity. All of this seemed a "given" ...something they were resigned to. But they wanted to change. They wanted a better, healthier life. So they chose Kettering.

Now Vicki jokes, "He put Christmas lights up on our house this year... for the first time in years!"

Through Weight Loss Surgery at Kettering and Sycamore Medical Centers, Rick and Vicki Rose not only found the area's most comprehensive program for weight loss, they found a team of medical professionals totally committed to their health, happiness and a much better quality of life. At Kettering, the focus is on patients, not illnesses. Kettering Weight Loss Surgery features one of the country's finest, dedicated obesity treatment facilities, with a program that includes evaluation, education, behavior modification, nutrition, surgical and post-surgery services. But the difference is how Kettering builds lasting relationships with patients committed to this all-important life change.
