Weight Loss Program

At PSS our mission as a practice is to change the lives of our patients by helping them enhance their outer beauty and ultimately enrich their lives because they FEEL better about themselves. Aesthetic surgery can be an option to get to where you want to be, but it’s not always the first step. If a patient comes in with the dream of getting her pre-baby shape back but is carrying too much weight to make a tummy tuck effective, we now have a way to help her get the best result from surgery without just saying come back when you have lost weight.

Turning away patients due to their current weight can leave them feeling unsupported and defeated. This inability to offer patients a good solution gave birth to our Health and Wellness Program. From nutrition and fitness counseling to gastric balloon placement, we have designed programs to jumpstart the journey to health and fitness.

PSS has developed three different programs based on our patients’ feedback. We wanted to ensure patients choices that truly fit their needs.

Outline

Obera Gastric Balloon

The Orbera Balloon is a non-surgical weight loss option designed to help individuals achieve their weight loss goals safely and effectively. The balloon takes up space in the stomach, creating a feeling of fullness, which helps individuals to eat less and lose weight.

The Orbera Balloon is designed for individuals who are overweight or obese and are looking for a non-surgical weight loss solution.It is recommended for individuals with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or greater with obesity-related health conditions, such as diabetes or high blood pressure. 

After the balloon is placed, the patient will have weekly call with our Weight Loss coach and Certified Bariatric Dietitian and Counselor. With her help, our patients learn healthy, lifelong habits and behaviors for long-term weight loss.

The Orbera Balloon is a non-surgical weight loss option designed to help individuals achieve their weight loss goals safely and effectively. With a placement procedure that takes only 20 minutes, a 6-month weight loss period, and the support of a dietitian, the Orbera Balloon is a convenient and effective solution for those seeking a non-surgical approach to weight loss.

What is the Weight Loss Program?

We know that excellent support is the mainstay of any program. Our weight loss program director has years of experience working with people who are longing to get control of their body and shape their life, on many levels.

Our program includes coaching, and supplements or hormone balancing to correct imbalances that may impede your success. Understanding energy input (good food) and output (fitness training), and the behaviors that get in our way, PSS gets results where others fail. In addition to a well-structured, long term plan for weight loss, we have gone a step further to provide a jumpstart that so many are in search of. It’s called Gastric Balloon Technology. The balloon is inserted endoscopically and left to occupy space in the stomach for 6 months. We’ve seen patients lose as much as 25-75 lbs. in this period. With our support, patients have learned new behaviors and made weight loss permanent and created a healthier long-term lifestyle.

Our Philosophy

Every body is different. We empower our patients entering into the weight loss journey with the knowledge they need to make lifelong changes. We do this by listening carefully to their history, challenges and hope for change. Armed with a better understanding of the roadblocks to weight loss, our patients become excited about their transformation. Understanding the connection between gut health and metabolic function is critical, and solving that problem with probiotics and diet changes can greatly benefit weight loss. Testing biomarkers to scan for deficits like key vitamins and mineral create an all-around healthier body. We believe success is achieved with an individualized plans for each patient. It is why our program succeeds where others fail.

Counseling and Compliance

We support our patients and answer questions that come up throughout the journey. Our certified weight loss counselor is available for support via text, email and phone. She has over 20 years experience helping people lose weight and keep it off. 

Keeping track of food, monitoring weight and fat loss are key motivators for program. Our Patient Coordinator Julia will schedule regular Inbody scans to ensure steady progress and track results. The Inbody 570 scale accurately measures numerous data points like specific areas of body fat and muscle ratio to help patients understand, and get excited about their progress.

First steps

When you commit to the PSS program we ask you to track, for two weeks prior to your visit, all of your food intake, and exercise. With the documentation of current eating and exercise patterns, you start with a comprehensive intake meeting, where your food patterns and exercise are reviewed. During the first consultation, we scan your weight, fat, lean muscle mass, identify and track inflammation, swelling and injury and more with our InBody 570.

This machine gives us a clear starting point to track your progress. As you lose pounds, your changes are automatically tracked in the program. There are times where you may not lose pounds, but your clothing size starts to shrink. Lean muscle mass weighs more than fat but occupies less space. Clothes that did not fit start to look good again. Through all of these changes, you will have personal access to Bethany for questions, support, and ideas for meal plans. If you qualify for Obera, our team will guide you through the process and provide the support that is the basis of its success.

We have seen patients lose as much as 25-75 lbs. in a few months, and with our team’s support, they’ve learned new behaviors to make a weight loss program into a permanent, healthier, lifestyle transformation.
