Weight Management

White Plains Hospital’s Weight Management Program offers patients a complete approach to achieving and maintaining a healthy weight. Whether you're just beginning your weight loss journey or need follow-up care after prior treatment, our team is here to help you find a plan that works best for you.

At White Plains Hospital, we understand that obesity is a complex medical condition—not a personal failing. Our program is built around the philosophy that every patient deserves a personalized, holistic approach to weight management that goes far beyond diet plans or prescriptions.

Services we provide

We provide the full complement of care, including:

Medical management, including weight loss medications
Nutritional counseling with our bariatric dietitian
Minimally invasive and bariatric surgery for qualified candidates
Revisions and follow-up care for previous weight loss procedures
Patient education to support shared decision-making

What Makes Our Program Different

Convenience: Patients can be referred directly to our program through their primary care physician, helping them be seen sooner.
Multidisciplinary coordination: We work closely with primary care providers and orthopedic surgeons, especially for patients who need to lose weight before undergoing joint surgery.
Whole-patient focus: We consider factors like family history, sleep patterns, current medications, and lifestyle – ensuring a plan that is both safe and effective.
Non-surgical and surgical treatment options: While some patients require surgery, many benefit from non-surgical treatments like medication, dietary guidance, and ongoing support.
Accountability: We help patients understand their choices and build accountability, which is often a key factor in long-term success.
