Medical (Non-Surgical) Weight Loss

We see the impact that our weight has on our health almost every day. Simple activities such as taking a walk or climbing a set of stairs can become surprisingly difficult when you’re struggling with weight. As a result, deciding to lose weight can be the single most important thing you do to improve your health and quality of life.

The weight loss clinics at Mercy Health can help. Through non-surgical bariatric care and help from medical dieticians and nutritionists, we help you find a medical weight loss program you can trust and regain control of your life.

Our medical weight management programs were designed to fit your life. We work with you to shape meals and snacks that will help you lose the weight and keep it off — no counting calories, no complicated food list and no extensive preparation. We also offer cooking classes and fitness programs.

Although every patient is different, candidates for non-surgical weight loss options generally will meet criteria including:

• A body mass index (BMI) of 30 or more, or 27 or more with another condition such as Type 2 diabetes, hypertension and high cholesterol, or sleep apnea
• Needing support overcoming emotional barriers to weight loss
• Needing the supervision of a physician, along with a comprehensive health care team
