We can also add medications to help promote further weight loss. Often, with renewed dedication to their health and new lifestyle, patients can begin to lose weight again. If a lifestyle issue is the primary cause of weight regain, our team of dieticians and psychologists will work with our patients to get back on track. Over the years, it can get harder to maintain a strict diet and exercise program, and small lapses can compound over time.
