An Alternative to Weight Loss Surgery

Once we understand your health goals, we will tailor a lifestyle plan to address your specific needs.

This can be achieved by addressing the following factors in an integral part of the approach:

• Identify and reduce stressors
• Eliminate medications that may be making you gain weight
• Fix your sleep patterns
• Structure your eating habits

Meet with Our Dietitian

Altering your diet can be overwhelming. That’s why our dietitian is here to provide nutritional education and unwavering support as you change your diet.

In your first meeting, you will identify your eating habits and choose one of the many available plans that might be best suited to you. You can then decide whether meal replacements are appropriate.

Together with our dietitian, you can monitor your progress and alter the plan accordingly.

Develop a Sustainable Exercise Plan

Effective and sustainable weight loss starts with understanding your unique physiology. By utilizing data, our specialists create and continuously personalize your training program.

Our multidisciplinary team is made up of exercise physiologists and movement specialists. WIth a wealth of expertise and data behind you, you can expect support and success.

Effective Weight Loss Medication

There are several effective weight loss medications. Refer to Medication for Weight Loss page to know more.

Each medication has its own effectiveness and side effect profile. We have to balance the profile with your existing medications and prior medication history. With this knowledge, we will determine which medication strategy is right for you.

After starting the medication, we set realistic goals and monitor your progress. We will decide to continue, change or withdraw the medications based your:

• Fat loss
• Muscle maintenance
• Side effect profile

A Synergistic Approach with Surgery

Weight loss surgery (such as the gastric balloon, gastric sleeve, gastric bypass, or lap band surgery) is a reasonable option for some patients. If you believe you may be a candidate, schedule an appointment to see if you qualify.

However, regardless if you pursue weight loss surgery, the best results require a synergistic approach with diet, exercise, and weight loss medications.
