Weight Management

Supervised Weight Management

Christiana Care's Medically Managed Weight Loss Program uses a medically supervised team approach to meet individual weight-reduction goals. Our medically managed programs are for individuals with a body-mass index (BMI) greater than 30 or a BMI of 27 with related serious health issues, such as diabetes, coronary artery disease or high blood pressure.

This program begins with a full physical examination and a comprehensive assessment conducted by our multidisciplinary team of health-care professionals. Based on the assessment, one or more of the following personalized treatment plans may be recommended:

Behavior-change program: This 24-week treatment plan includes nutrition, exercise, behavior modification and medical components. The program focuses on strengthening skills that support healthy weight management and maintaining motivation over the long term. After completion of the program, we help you stay committed to successful weight management.
Weight-loss medication or meal-replacement program: In addition to the behavior-change program, you may qualify for and elect to use a weight-loss medication or meal-replacement program that complements your lifestyle changes.
