Opti-MED

LifeStyle Weight Loss understands that often it is difficult for a person to lose the weight that is desired even by completely following all recommended protocols.  This is where the newly designed program Opti-MED can help.  It was created for people who have a significant amount weight to lose or for those who have tried many plans without the success they want.  For other diseases such as diabetes or high blood pressure, use of prescription medications may be appropriate for some people.  With the disease, obesity, LifeStyle Weight Loss can help by prescribing weight loss medications as needed for our patients.  

Prescription medications should be used by patients who are at increased medical risk because of their weight. These patients have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or greater or a BMI of 27 with obesity related conditions such as high blood pressure, dyslipidemia, or type 2 diabetes. Physician follow-ups in the LifeStyle Weight Loss Clinic are required.  Each person will have a complete consult with the clinic director to help make the best decision for a LifeStyle plan. 

The Opti-MED program involves the following:

• A behavioral and nutritional assessment to help us make the best decision for your customized plan. 
• Weekly weight and blood pressure monitoring.
• Weekly food record monitoring and professional advice.
• Monthly follow-up visits with the physician or FNP
• A regimen of vitamins to help promote good health during weight loss.
• Availability of staff for individual meetings to give behavioral strategies and nutritional guidance in coping with the overwhelming concerns of overeating.

You will be provided a structured, easy to follow diet by our Registered Dietitian which will include our OPTIFAST® meal replacement products for some of your meals.  Our diet plans will be developed with you specifically to meet your individual needs according to your weight loss goals. Benefits of our Opti-MED program include the flexibility of a fine-tuned nutritional plan and the knowledge gained from individual attention and satisfying results.
