Medically Supervised Weight Loss

For those that have struggled and not been successful in losing the weight there is good news! Medically supervised weight loss programs can provide a safer, more accountable approach to help people lose the weight and improve weight related medical conditions. An initial appointment followed by monthly appointments with a licensed credentialed health care provider/prescriber that specializes in weight loss, as well as weekly weigh-ins and support groups with a Registered Dietitian, will help you achieve weight loss and stick with the program.

There are “kick start weight loss programs” that can help you get the fresh start you need, such as weight loss medications for the right candidate, meal replacement programs that reduce daily caloric intake and even supervised exercise programs. Medically supervised weight loss programs can also assess if you are an appropriate candidate for referral for gastric weight loss surgery. We will help you meet the initial weight loss and diet education requirements needed, all as you are learning new behaviors for the future to help maintain your weight loss. This includes education on the right weight maintenance meal plan for you such as the Mediterranean Diet or a healthy meal plan that is made up of more “real food,” such as fresh fruits and vegetables, less processed bready carbohydrates, more lean protein, and an individualized total daily carbohydrate number.

Are you in need of a total joint replacement or other elective surgery and your surgeon says you need to get your BMI lower to proceed with surgery? Are you concerned that because of your weight you are at a higher risk of post operative complications such as infection? Let us help you get that surgery to improve your quality of life and lower your post operative risks through our medical weight loss program. Patients work with multidisciplinary specialists in obesity medicine, nutrition, diabetes management, and psychology to achieve your goals.

Getting to the root of the problem and getting the weight off is the best prevention for any weight related illness. Do it for the health of it!
