At Aesthetic Medicine we offer a comprehensive medically-supervised weight loss program for patients looking to lose a significant amount of body weight. Unlike programs that focus primarily on hypnosis or meetings with non-medical personnel , our weight loss program is designed and administered by an in-house physician and a staff of registered dietitians who focus on long-term results through one of our two main dietary programs.

“The weight loss program paired with the
nutrition classes is the recipe for success. I don’t
think it would be as successful if you did one or
the other. Together they keep you focused and
on track.” MB
“After the initial couple of weeks the program
was very easy — no hunger! Now I enjoy going
clothes shopping — before it was something
I dreaded.” PF
“Within one week of the program, my blood
pressure was down and within 2 weeks, I was
off blood pressure medication. . . I liked the
personal attention and accountability.” AS
“(I loved) the group support on every level –
especially the emotional level. I felt like I had
my own personal cheerleading squad. The
one-on-one appointments with the dietitian
helped me to find new strategies around issues
that would arrise.” BL
“I have finally realized that each day is
a day of choices. I now have tools to sustain
the weight and life I choose.” J.V.

Weight Loss Phase
• Medically supervised
• Prescription
appetite suppressants
if appropriate
• Monthly body
composition analysis
• Meal replacements
• Weekly support with
lifestyle education classes
and medical check-ins
• Exercise guidelines
and strategies
• A “quick start” in weight loss provides
motivation and spurs the momentum in
achieving goal weight.
• The convenient use of meal replacements
provides complete nutrition, decreases
hunger, and the “decision free” aspect
allows a break from current eating
behaviors to facilitate learning new
relationships with food.
• Studies show an average of 3 times more
weight is lost and maintained using meal
replacements compared to a “grocery
store” diet.
• Physical activity, a major predictor
of successful weight management,
is coached to fit into everyday life.
• Our staff of professionals trained in the
weight loss field include medical doctors,
registered dietitians and certified
medical assistants.
Keeping it off –
we’re here for you!
