Medical Weight Management

Non-Surgical Weight Loss Services in Minnesota

At CentraCare Weight Management, we offer a variety of non-surgical (medical), scientifically based approaches for helping men and women achieve weight loss or weight maintenance. These approaches may range from meal plans to medications.

Our non-surgical options include:

• Clinician monitoring of progress, medications and lab results
• Registered dietitian assistance with the creation of personalized and family-friendly meal plans
• Metabolic testing
• Weight loss medications
• Meal alternative products
• Shared medical appointments

How much does your medical weight loss program cost?

There is no enrollment fee for our program. Clinician and dietitian visits, in most cases, are covered by insurance. We do offer optional services and products for a fee.

Can I do a “natural” weight loss program?

CentraCare Weight Management emphasizes the importance of developing eating habits that will encourage weight loss while meeting your specific needs. We are sensitive to preferences for organic foods, vegan, vegetarian, prepared or packaged foods and individuals with allergies or sensitivities. We will work with you to develop a meal plan that will match your personal preferences.

How are pre-packaged, proportioned food products used in your program?

CentraCare Weight Management can assist with meal plans for products traditionally found in grocery stores (whole foods). We also offer plans for pre-packaged foods known as meal alternative products. These products are evidence-based interventions that are safe and effective for weight loss. People often find success with these products because they are portion-controlled, satiating and convenient to use. Many of our patients choose meal alternative programs for the initial weight loss phase, transitioning fully or partially to a grocery food-based program later. The choice of program is up to you, and it will be discussed by one of our clinicians during the initial consultation.
