Non-surgical Weight Management
Interested in weight-loss options that don't involve surgery? Call us at (260) 425-2800 today.
Lutheran Health Network Weight Management offers medically based, non-surgical services to help patients achieve and maintain a healthy weight. A board-certified obesity medicine specialist will evaluate your health history, discuss different treatment options and develop a customized plan just for you.
Treatment may include some or all of the following:
One-On-One Counseling
A registered dietitian will develop a customized nutrition plan to help you achieve your goals. Patients are assessed on a specialized body composition scale that determines muscle mass and body fat mass. With this information in hand, we can help you lose weight and inches, lower BMI, increase energy and effectively use a food diary. If needed, we can also refer you to a behavioral counselor so you can schedule one-on-one appointments.
If medication is needed, the obesity medicine specialist will prescribe the medication that is right for you. Follow-up appointments to evaluate progress are scheduled twice the first month and then every four to six weeks after that.
Baseline Metabolism
Metabolism is the body's process of converting food into energy. It keeps the body running and fuels daily activities. The team utilizes a quick, convenient test to determine your body's resting metabolic rate. Once we identify the amount of energy (calories) your body needs to function efficiently, we can help you establish a healthy diet tailored to your needs.
