Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Norton's program different from commercial weight loss programs?

Our program is medically supervised by board-certified physicians and backed by comprehensive healthcare resources. We focus on treating obesity as a medical condition, not just a lifestyle choice, with evidence-based approaches proven effective long-term.

Will my primary care physician be involved in my treatment?

Yes, we coordinate closely with your existing Norton Healthcare providers and can communicate with outside physicians. This ensures your weight loss plan complements your overall healthcare and doesn't interfere with other treatments.

How do you determine if I'm a candidate for weight loss medications?

Our physicians evaluate your medical history, current health status, weight loss goals, and potential risks or contraindications. Medications are only prescribed when medically appropriate and carefully monitored for safety and effectiveness.

Do you offer surgical weight loss options?

While our center focuses on non-surgical approaches, we can coordinate with Norton's bariatric surgery program if surgical intervention becomes appropriate. We often help patients optimize their health before surgery.

How much weight should I expect to lose?

Weight loss varies based on individual factors, but most patients lose 1-2 pounds per week initially. Our goal is medically significant weight loss of 5-10% of starting weight, which provides substantial health benefits.

What happens if I don't lose weight as expected?

We regularly assess progress and adjust treatment plans as needed. This might include medication changes, dietary modifications, or additional medical evaluation to identify barriers to weight loss.

Are family members included in the program?

While treatment is individualized, we encourage family involvement and can provide resources to help create supportive home environments. Family members can attend education sessions and learn about healthy cooking and lifestyle changes.

How long will I need to stay in the program?

Program length varies based on individual goals and progress, typically ranging from 6-24 months. We also offer ongoing maintenance support to help patients sustain their weight loss long-term.
