Medical Weight Loss Program

The New York Bariatric Group has a unifying philosophy that considers the patient's wishes when creating a comprehensive weight loss plan. We see each component of weight loss as a tool, and we aim to apply the right tool to accomplish the goal. By offering medication, gastric balloons, and surgical options, each patient can rest assured that they are receiving the best approach to help them achieve their goal of being healthier. Our physicians utilize the latest evidence-based techniques to benefit our patients with the most up-to-date treatments.

Using our onsite nutritionists and psychologists, we can create a comprehensive, medically supervised weight loss program tailored to the patient’s individual needs. We offer several different options. For patients who seek rapid weight loss, we utilize carefully developed nutrition products to implement a very low-calorie diet. This diet usually lasts 8 weeks and is an induction phase to jumpstart weight loss. Once complete, our nutritionists help craft an eating regimen for continued weight loss.

Weight Loss Medications

Semaglutide (Wegovy)

Wegovy is a brand name for Semaglutide, an effective weight management medication for overweight or obese adults. These injections are administered once a week and work by mimicking the effects of a hormone known as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which is responsible for regulating appetite and food intake.

Ozempic

Another brand of Semaglutide, Ozempic, is FDA-approved for patients with a BMI (body mass index) of 30 or higher. It is also an option for patients with a BMI of 27 or greater, provided they have at least one weight-related condition, such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol. It is most effective with a healthy lifestyle (a reduced-calorie diet and regular physical activity).

Saxenda

Saxenda is a brand name for liraglutide, a medication that aids overweight or obese adults in managing their weight. This medication is administered by injection daily and mimics the effects of the hormone glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which controls appetite and food intake. It is typically recommended for patients with a BMI of 30 or greater. Those with weight-related issues, such as high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes, can have a BMI as low as 27.

Mounjaro

Multiple studies have found that Mounjaro, another brand of Tirzepatide, can aid patients in losing significant amounts of weight over some time. One clinical trial found that patients who took Mounjaro lost an average of 15% of their body weight, compared with only 2.4% in the placebo group.

Qsymia

Qsymia is another prescription weight loss medication with two active ingredients: phentermine and topiramate. Phentermine is a stimulant that works by suppressing the patient’s appetite. Topiramate is what’s known as an anticonvulsant medication, which both reduces appetite and makes the patient feel full sooner.

Orlistat

Orlistat is a medication that can help overweight and obese individuals get a handle on weight management. Its primary function is to prevent fat absorption in the digestive tract, reducing calorie intake and increasing weight loss.

Contrave

Contrave is a combination of two active ingredients: bupropion and naltrexone. Bupropion is an antidepressant medication that tapers one’s appetite. Naltrexone is a medication used to treat addictions (and can also reduce the patient’s food cravings).

This medication is FDA-approved for patients with a BMI of 30 or higher or a BMI of 27 or higher with a condition related to their weight. The treatment is most effective when combined with a healthy lifestyle.

Zepbound

Zepbound is a tirzepatide injection that operates by targeting certain chemicals in your brain that regulate appetite. When you take Zepbound, it acts to suppress your hunger, which can lead to a reduced calorie intake. It's important to note that Zepbound is most effective when you also adhere to a healthy eating plan and stay active.

I was approaching 50 and knew if I didn’t do something soon my days would be numbered.

I was approaching 50 and knew if I didn’t do something soon my days would be numbered. GLP-1 medications for weight loss have changed my life. I had tried everything. Nothing lasted. Medications like Saxenda, Wegovy, and Zepbound changed my relationship with food. I no longer feel hungry immediately after eating. I fill up faster and stay satisfied longer. I’m not longer a slave to food cravings. My labs are normal and GLP-1s are the only medicine I take now. For the first time in my life, I feel normal around food. These medications have saved my life.
