Choose your pathway to success
Medications, endoscopic therapies and surgical options with the help of a bariatric surgeon can help treat obesity. However, when they’re combined with lifestyle modifications, such as nutrition, stress management and exercise, it can help improve your overall health and wellness.
We’ll help you achieve your weight loss goals with a personalized dietary plan that provides the nutrients your body needs while reducing calories. Counseling sessions ensure your medical conditions, prescribed diets and food preferences are addressed to help you safely and effectively lose weight.
You’ll meet with our licensed registered dietitians who will provide personalized nutrition counseling according to your prescribed diet, medical history and nutritional goals. They’ll help you determine the right balance of nutrients, and the tools you’ll need to achieve your nutrition and weight loss goals. We’ll also teach you habits and techniques which produce fullness sooner when you eat and diminish your appetite to put you in control to make healthier choices.
You might be busy taking care of everyone else but paying attention to your emotional health is just as important as focusing on your physical health. We’re here to help you address not only physical issues but also emotional and psychological that contribute to obesity.
If you struggle with managing with stress, our team can help you develop coping skills to improve your psychological wellness. These skills can include:
- Meditation and relaxation techniques
- Exercise
- Hobbies
- Self-care techniques
Regular physical activity can help improve your health and maintain weight loss in the long-term. Studies have also shown people who regularly exercise before surgery see a reduced risk in many postoperative complications.
Our on-site exercise physiologists will work with you to create an individualized exercise program considering your goals and any barriers you have to exercise, such as joint pain and fatigue. If you opt for weight loss surgery, it’s vitally important to follow through with the exercise program designed for you by our team to make sure that your surgery is as safe as possible.
Whether or not you have surgery, a regular exercise program can help you achieve your weight loss goals.
While surgery might be the right course of treatment for some, we also offer a medically supervised, non-surgical, comprehensive weight management program. Our team of medical weight loss experts are here to support you every step of your weight loss journey. Our non-surgical services include:
- Monitoring and support: We’ll monitor and support you with maintaining your weight by ensuring long term support for healthy living.
- Weight loss resources: We provide resources to assist you in tracking your weight loss progress.
- Training and education: These on-going training and education programs will help you develop the life skills necessary for sustained weight loss and healthy living.
- Support groups: Our monthly support groups discuss educational topics and provide an opportunity for you to build a network of friends who also have weight issues.
