We utilize computerized state of the
art weight loss assessment technologies including bioelectrical
impedance that are able to isolate and accurately measure body fat, lean
muscle, and total body water. In addition we can also measure each
individual’s resting metabolic rate to better calculate what their daily
caloric intake must be to safely yet effectively allow them to reach
their ideal body weight.
We offer a complete bariatric history and physical, electrocardiogram,
calculation of body mass index, body fat composition analysis, indirect
calorimetry, and a customized weight and lifestyle inventory behavioral
assessment. We offer 3 options to assist patients in losing weight:
1) "Cruise Option" those desiring only a 10 - 20 lbs. loss,
2) Overweight with no medical problems (BMI’s between 25 - 29.9).
3) Obese with medical conditions ( BMI’s greater than 30).
The initial weight loss phases of our programs last from 2 to 16 weeks
with average weekly weight loss between 2- 6 lbs per week. This is
followed by
a 4 week transition phase and then long term maintenance programs
customized to each individual’s needs.
Experience balance and renewal in your life.
We understand the importance of behavioral modification in your long
term success. Therefore we offer an all-inclusive and personalized
program to meet your lifestyle needs coordinated by our Behavioral
Director, Loretta Tafuri, R.N., M.B.A.
During the course of our program we will identify the behavioral,
emotional, and environmental factors that contributed to one’s present
weight and the inability to lose that weight. New healthier lifestyle
changes are supported using integrative holistic techniques that allow
an individual to heal the mind and body.

WILL MY HEALTH INSURANCE COVER MEDICAL BARIATRIC PROGRAMS?
We will provide you with a superbill that you may use to attempt to
obtain reimbursement from your health insurance carrier. Health
insurance traditionally
does not cover any costs associated with medical weight loss programs.
