Our Services

Lifestyle

For many people, lifestyle changes can be the foundation for weight loss. During what’s known as a lifestyle visit, our preventive medicine providers meet with you to discuss changes to sleep, stress, exercise and diet.

Metabolic Obesity Clinic – Medication- Assisted Lifestyle Changes

In some cases, medication and other medical treatments are the best option to manage your weight. Our program starts with a series of monthly visits to tailor treatment to your unique health concerns. Through biometric assessment and regular visits, we’ll help you find the right treatments for you.

My Optifast Journey

My Optifast Journey is a comprehensive meal replacement program proven to be an effective weight loss method for busy people. The program helps you manage weight through a combination of medical visits, digital support resources and a wellness tracking app. You’ll use Nestlé meal replacement products to begin a long-term weight loss journey.

Psychological Support

The effects of mental health on physical health are still not fully understood. What we do know is weight loss and psychological support often go hand in hand. Our patients find this type of support extremely valuable, whether as a standalone service or in combination with our weight management programs.

Preparation for Bariatric Surgery

Bariatric surgery may represent the ultimate solution in your journey to overcome lifelong obesity challenges and it has been shown to be the most effective long-term treatment for obesity. To prepare you for the possibility of bariatric surgery and as a part of our comprehensive, patient-centered program, we prioritize assisting you in exploring how a medically supervised weight loss program could effectively address your needs. It's important to note that many insurance providers mandate participation in a medically supervised weight loss program as a prerequisite for approving bariatric surgery.

Loma Linda University Health is proud to be recognized for meeting the rigorous Blue Distinction® Center quality selection criteria for bariatric surgery set by the Blue Distinction® Specialty Care program in minimally invasive procedures including sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass.
