The Better Weigh Center

The Better Weigh Center At the Better Weigh Center our program is committed to helping our patients be successful before, during and AFTER surgery. Everyone is here to learn and grow.

From the moment you make that first call, you will be treated with the dignity and respect you deserve. You will never feel like “just one of the crowd” in our clinic. Our team of professionals will be there every step of the way to make sure your weight loss journey is as smooth, worry free and as successful as possible. Dr. Stegemann is an experienced surgeon and a leader in the field of metabolic and bariatric surgery not just on the state level, but on the national level as well. He is passionate about helping people regain their health through safe and effective weight loss. Dr. Stegemann is committed to providing compassionate, state-of-the-art care to his patients in a friendly, non-judgmental fashion. What really sets Dr. Stegemann apart from other surgeons in the region, however, is that he actually lives in Corpus Christi. This means he is available to care for his patients locally if they should have any issues that arise after surgery. Not only is this important and convenient for patients, in some situations it can mean the difference between life and death. Imagine being cared for by a surgeon in an emergency situation that has never done weight loss surgery? Unfortunately this is all too often a reality when patients seek out care from remote programs. What also makes our program different from others is our crystal clear understanding that surgery alone does not produce long-term success and our commitment to your success after your operation. Most weight loss surgery programs profess to believe that lifestyle change is important after surgery but then fail to provide the structure that can create that change. At the Better Weigh Center we take our understanding of this to an entire different level. This is why we have committed extensive time and resources to develop an aftercare program that focuses directly on the dietary, fitness, and behavioral changes necessary to equip you with the skills to make your weight loss success last a lifetime. And since we live here in Corpus Christi, it’s easier for you to take advantage of all that our program offers! Finally, there is a Better Weigh in Corpus Christi……


Open Wall Rules: We have a few simple guidelines for our open discussion:

-No product promotions. While we love hearing about offers, please let us know before hand.
-No name calling. Under no condition will harassing or teasing be permitted within our page. Thanks for understanding, now lets go out there and post!
