Medical (Non-Surgical) Weight Loss

Medical (Non-Surgical) Weight Loss

Weight loss is personal. That’s why the team at Southern New Hampshire Weight Management works with each patient to design an individualized treatment plan within a supportive and nonjudgmental environment. 

Our multidisciplinary team is comprised of board-certified physicians, advanced practice practitioners and registered dietitians who have a common goal: to help you reach and maintain a healthier weight and body composition.

Obesity Medicine

If self-directed diet and exercise haven’t been enough for you to achieve your weight-loss goals, you may benefit from an evaluation with a board-certified obesity medicine specialist. These physicians are specially trained to treat obesity as a disease by developing treatment plans that include a combination of lifestyle changes like nutrition, physical activity, and behavior therapy. Medication may also be an option for patients whose weight loss has plateaued or who aren’t seeing results with lifestyle changes alone.

Our team can also help determine if an underlying condition like type 2 diabetes, polycystic ovary syndrome, or another hormonal disorder is preventing you from losing weight. If one of these conditions is present, our team can provide the treatment you need to optimize your weight loss.

What to Expect

The following list provides an overview of what to expect before and during your initial consultation at Southern New Hampshire Weight Management. Please carefully read the steps required prior to your visit, including completing an intake form, which helps us develop a personalized treatment plan. Our specialists aim to ensure a safe and effective approach to your weight management journey.

  • Complete a detailedintake form

This information will help our team design the best and safest treatment plan for your lifestyle and medical history.

  • Attend an information session

Once you return the form to the office and attend an in-person information session, you can then schedule your consultation visit.

  • Schedule your consultation visit and physical examination

Please bring a list of all medications and over the counter supplements to your initial visit. We also encourage patients to check with their insurance plan regarding coverage for registered dieticians (nutritionists) before their initial consultation (please note: if you have Medicare, a visit with a registered dietician will only be covered if you have diabetes or kidney disease). Your initial consultation will last approximately 60 minutes. One of our healthcare providers will ask you detailed questions regarding your weight history, your general medical history, your daily lifestyle, social situation, and cultural preferences.

  • Create a treatment plan

Our team will then work to develop a comprehensive treatment plan that best fits your needs and lifestyle. At first, you will have frequent follow-up visits to monitor your progress. Your treatment plan will change as needed to ensure we are optimizing your weight loss.
