Weight Management Program
Overview of the Program
Diet
Patients are prescribed a low-calorie diet that
may include meal replacements during the first
three months.
After achieving weight loss, patients will be
maintained on a low-calorie diet using everyday
foods tailored to their personal preferences.
Patients are given guidance about nutrition,
portion sizes, and how to track their food intake.
These resources will help patients maintain their
weight loss after completion of the program.
Physical Activity
An exercise physiologist is available upon request to help you to develop
an exercise program to assist with weight
maintenance (there may be a fee incurred).
Costs
Patients need to check with their health insurance provider to determine if the program costs will be covered.
In addition, patients may be responsible for insurance co-pays for office visits and prescription medications. Costs for meal replacements that are employed as part of the individual weight loss program are also the responsibility of the patient.
