Obesity is a chronic disease. Dr. Sherri Thomas explains how board-certified specialists can use thorough evaluations and the latest treatments to help patients achieve sustainable weight loss through medical and surgical therapies.

We offer a full range of services for patients struggling with their weight. Our comprehensive approach includes resting metabolic rate measurement, body composition measurement, and thorough lab work. We dive deep to uncover all factors contributing to weight gain or blocking weight loss, even offering genetic testing when needed.

Losing weight is just the first step. The real challenge is keeping it off, and that’s where we come in. At Nebraska Weight & Wellness, we prioritize your overall well-being and foster a non-judgmental environment. Here, you’ll never feel alone in your weight management journey.

Dr. Sherri Thomas shares her personal struggle with weight, beginning in childhood and continuing through the demands of her medical residency. This led her to pursue board certification in weight management, turning her passion into a mission to help others achieve their weight loss goals. Watch her story and learn how her personal experience shapes her compassionate approach.

At Nebraska Weight and Wellness we know that unhealthy weight and lifestyles will eventually lead to health consequences, whether that is changes in well-being and functionality or actual disease. We’re not interested in waiting until people are sick before we take action. That’s why we treat early insulin resistance, rather than waiting for patients to develop diabetes.

You may think that because you only have a few pounds to lose, you don’t need the support of a physician. However, a couple of pounds can add up over time and cause problems years from now. That’s why Dr. Thomas loves meeting with people early on in their disease to reverse it early and help prevent progression.

Treating weight appropriately starts with recognizing obesity as a chronic disease.

You are not alone in your obesity journey. The obesity epidemic in our country is rising, and there are various classifications of this disease. Gaining a better understanding of obesity, measuring your weight, and available treatments will help you reach your weight management goals.

Many obesity patients are frustrated with how they’ve been treated by peers and insurance companies that exclude coverage for their chronic disease. If this is your experience, we believe you deserve to be treated with dignity and respect, and you should have access to treatment. Advocate for yourself and others with obesity by making your voice heard.

Many of these decisions about coverage are made by employers and legislators who still harbor archaic biases, and change will only happen when employees and constituents speak up and demand better. The Obesity Action Coalition provides a great platform for patients to make their voices heard to bring about change in attitudes about obesity and access to treatment.
