Because we recognize the uniqueness of our patients' needs, we offer a full array of
weight management options - and a structured, 16-week weight loss program. This program
is complete with group support sessions led by a registered dietitian with experience in
weight management. She will assist you toward achieving optimal health and wellness and
lifelong success. You will also have medical management by a qualified physician and
individual dietitian visits for help with meal planning and implementing behavior
modification techniques. Weight loss options include:
- Balanced Calorie Deficit Diet - This dietary plan helps you learn to change food
choices, portion sizes and preparation style. Diets are tailored to individual
preferences, lifestyle, and goals in conjunction with a personalized program developed
by your dietitian - and YOU.
- Pharmacotherapy + Diet - Combines a low-calorie diet with the addition of sibutramine
(Meridia) or phentermine (these work to decrease your appetite and leave you with a sense
of fullness), or orlistat (Xenical), which inhibits the absorption of some of the fat in
a low-fat meal plan.
- Food and Formula Diet - Liquid formula is used along with meals planned with your
personal dietitian. This diet allows you the freedom to choose 1-2 meals a day while
limiting food choices.
