Weight Programs

Advanced Program:

This more complex, integrated program is designed for the patient with other, more extensive medical history. This program may require a complete physical exam, blood work, an EKG, and weekly visits with the medical staff to assure a safe, progressive weight loss. This program may include any one of the following programs as prescribed by the doctor depending on the patient’s medical history.

Medication-Based Program:

A medically supervised program that includes vigorous nutritional counseling and behavior assessment and the latest in FDA-approved medications that are tailored to each person's metabolism. These medications help the patient gain more control over his or her eating habits and help the patient to make better choices throughout the day. This plan is offered in a weekly or monthly version. This plan is for otherwise healthy patients, although EKG and blood work may be necessary depending on the doctor's evaluation.

Jumpstart Program:

This is a very low calorie diet (VLCD) program that is designed for the otherwise healthy patient who needs a structured program to lose weight rapidly. This is also beneficial for the patient who needs a jump-start off a plateau, with or without medications. It consists of protein-supplemented foods that provide 500 calories and at least 50 grams of high quality FDA-approved protein. In addition, the patient will have one prepared or other type of meal which provides a maximum of 300 calories to total 800 calories. After a month, patients may continue or transition into one of our other programs for continued success. This plan requires weekly weigh-ins and/or telephone consultations as well as initial and follow-up basic blood work.

Holistic Program:

This a physician-directed and individually-tailored non-medication-based plan which includes the latest in nutritional supplement regimens that have been found to stimulate and protect the body’s systems and to promote healthy weight loss. This is a vigorous program of nutritional counseling with medical staff as well as required weekly weigh-ins and/or telephone consultations.

New Start Diet Program:

A menu-based reduced calorie diet designed in a modular format to give your weight loss a head start. This is also a weekly program; the modules are dispensed on a weekly basis that will help you lose weight at a healthy yet rapid rate. After a month, the patient will begin to transition to one of the other programs. **This may be used in conjunction with the Medication/Holistic/Injection-based program at a reduced cost.

Injection Program:

This program utilizes a special formulation of B vitamins and lipotropic amino acids. Lipotropic amino acids help mobilize fat from fat cells to provide fuel for energy and help to suppress hunger. Injections are administered in the office up to three times weekly. This program is suitable for patients who desire a more rapid weight loss and those who require frequent staff counseling and support. In order to achieve maximum benefit, a patient should not consider this program unless he or she can commit to staying on it for at least one month at a time.

CAP (Control, Action, And Panic) Maintenance Program:

Once you have met your goal weight we transition you to a maintenance program which is the most challenging part of your journey. It involves more contact with the medical staff and frequent weigh-ins. Medication programs will begin to be tapered off; other programs will continue intermittently in order to ensure success.

Promedis:

This is a more aggressive weight loss program with which you can lose up to four pounds a week. It includes real food and is not a starvation diet. It requires close medical monitoring. We also offer MESOTHERAPY, a non-surgical spot fat reduction used in Europe for decades and now becoming popular in the USA. In the near future we will add cosmetic procedures, including BOTOX, Restylane, and laser procedures (spider vein removal, hair removal, and skin resurfacing).
