Medical Options

Sometimes surgery isn’t the answer for our patients, but we can still help them meet their goals through medical weight loss. We don’t only focus on surgery-we focus on you, the person. Our goal is to help you make a change in your life for the better and we are prepared to provide you with all the tools necessary to do so.

Our medical weight loss options include:

  • Insurance mandated diet - patients who are required to participate in a physician supervised diet before they can recieve benefit for bariatric surgery
  • Weight Wise - a calorie controlled diet with the use of short-term FDA approved medications
  • Optifast - an 18-week meal replacement program with weekly office visits that provides patients the opportunity to consult with our medical physician, nurses and dietitian.

In addition, the program offers weekly education classes on exercise, behavior modification techniques and nutrition to help you build the tools necessary to reach and maintain your weight loss goals.

If you are interested in learning more about your weight loss options, please call the Bariatric Program office at 540.536.0010 or toll free at 866.712.3795. Or check out our free information sessions.
