After - Weight No More Medical Associates

Imagine a medical weight-loss program where:
Icon 1Being overweight is treated as a chronic progressive genetic disease.
Icon 2You are told that being overweight (in most cases) is not your fault!
Icon 3Patients are seen monthly, no daily or weekly.
Icon 4The psychological, prejudicial, and discriminatory aspects are addressed.
Icon 5The ulitmate goal goes well beyond weight-loss itself, but extends to the improvement in self esteem, empowerment and health as unexpected gifts of long term weight-loss success.
IMAGINE . . . WEIGHT NO MORE!
Dr. Skversky has been featured in the Wall Street Journal and interviewed on Good Morning America, the Today Show, and the Early Show in the past year.

At Weight No More we provide a comprehensive medication assisted weight loss program. The true goal of any weight loss program, medical, commercial, or otherwise should be long-term weight loss maintenance. Remember obesity, much like other diseases, i.e. diabetes and hypertension, the goal of treatment is control, not cure. Although diet and exercise protocols are very important adjuncts for a successful program, the current use of medication both anorectic (appetite control) and serotonin modulators (craving control) are necessary for the vast majority of patients not only to lose weight, but more importantly to maintain their weight loss.

Medications that we currently use include Effexor Xr, Phentermine, Phendimetrazine, Serzone, Zoloft, Prozac, Celexa, Luvox, Wellbutrin, Glucophage, and Xenical. We use these either singly or in combination based on individual patient needs.

What about diet? We stress high protein, low carbohydrate, low fat eating for most patients. In general, we place little emphasis on calorie counting, exchange lists and specific diets. Rather we encourage sensible eating with helpful hints, guidelines and recommendations for meals. For those who prefer to count calories and grams of food, we have take-out pamphlets to make that easier. We offer high protein snack bars from Bariatrix. These are the best we have found nutritionally. We also have high protein, low carbohydrate meal replacement shakes from HMR. We provide samples for our patients to try.

We encourage exercise in any form. Consistency is the key to success. In general, exercise has very little effect on weight loss or maintenance for several months. Major benefits include cardiovascular conditioning, body toning, lowering of cholesterol and blood pressure, increasing HDL, and sense of well being. So please exercise, exercise, exercise.

We see our patients on a monthly basis. More frequent visits, if necessary, are at no additonal charge. Once goal weight is achieved, patients are seen every six weeks for maintenance.
