Mercy Clinic Weight Management - Springdale

Losing the weight is just part of the battle. Why not investigate a program that can offer not only medically safe weight loss, but opportunities to maintain weight loss with lifestyle management? 

This intensive program is designed for those motivated individuals who are older than 18 years of age who have a Body Max Index (BMI) equal to or greater than 30. 

How Does It Work?

• Medically monitored weight management programs are a safe alternative to surgery that allows patients, under the supervision of a physician, to consume a low calorie diet (LCD). 
• The program utilizes a full meal replacement plan that transitions to self-prepared “everyday” meals in conjunction with comprehensive patient education and support, to help patients achieve long-term weight loss.
• This program is intensive initially and will necessitate weekly visits during clinic hours. There are out of pocket costs (for meals and classes) which will not be submitted to insurance. 

How We Do It

“The Program” occurs in three phases: 

• Phase 1: Active Weight Loss - Meal replacements only 
  Duration = at least 12 weeks 
• Phase 2: Transition -Meal replacements + Everyday food. 
  Duration = 6-8 weeks 
• Phase 3: Maintenance - Everyday food only or Everyday food + a few meal replacements. 
  Duration = at least 6 months – indefinite.
