Ongoing Weight Maintenance Program

This program will help you maintain long-term weight loss success! At The Doctor is In!, our goal is to help patients who have completed one of our non-surgical programs continue to lose weight and to help them stay on track once they've lost the weight. This program will provide you with the support and encouragement you need to achieve a life-long, successful weight loss.

In this program, our medical staff focuses on continuing to support and encourage the new lifestyle you adopted during your weight loss program. Within our group setting, you can be supported by people who share your experience with weight management. In turn, you can offer support to others who can learn from your experience and follow your example.

Our Ongoing Weight Maintenance Program will help you continue to meet your weight loss goals and help you stay on track when you have achieved your target weight. As a participant in the program, you can continue to purchase and use OPTIFAST products as part of your weight maintenance plan.

Because the best way to learn is to actually practice and re-enforce certain behaviors, our weight loss maintenance program will provide you with activities and topics that you can apply daily. 

Am I a good candidate for the Ongoing Weight Management Program?

If you have achieved your weight loss goals through one of our non-surgical programs and are seeking support to help reinforce your healthy lifestyle and avoid regaining the weight then you are likely a very good candidate for this program  We strongly encourage you to participate in the program for at least six months. .

What is the program's diet?

This program does not have a formal diet, although you may purchase OPTIFAST products while actively participating in our Ongoing Maintenance Program. Many of our patients find that occasionally substituting OPTIFAST products for traditional foods helps them maintain their weight loss in the long term.

Will Dr. Posson prescribe weight loss medication for me?

Though prescription medications for weight loss are not typical of this program, they may be used if Dr. Posson feels it is appropriate for your long-term goals.

What type of ongoing support do you provide?

Our Center offers ongoing support meetings, weight monitoring and opportunities for our patients to discuss issues and questions with a nutritionist or behaviorist.
