Medical Weight Management
“Obesity is a chronic disease and should be treated as one.”
The medical weight management team at Billings Clinic supports patients in their weight loss journey through individualized nutrition and activity counseling and management of chronic health conditions. Our team of weight management specialists includes registered dietitians, physicians, and mental health professionals that aim to provide holistic care and individualized treatment to those wanting to improve their health through weight loss.
WeightSmart
WeightSmart is a comprehensive medical weight management program that encompasses four pillars:
- Metabolism
- Nutrition
- Physical activity
- Behavior modification
Participants in the program will meet regularly with a registered dietitian to develop the knowledge and skills to reduce their body weight safely.
Frequent visits with the dietitian promote accountability and allow for highly individualized coaching for each participant. The focus of this program is sustainable behavior change to promote lifelong weight management and is best for those patients that have attempted to lose weight with quick-fix programs or fad diets in the past and are ready to form life-long, health-promoting habits.
We will bill your insurance for each visit, but it is important for you to understand your coverage and know if obesity services are part of your health plan. Not all plans cover obesity care.
Your journey will begin with an intake and orientation visit. This visit will explain your options in detail and prepare you for your visit with the obesity medicine specialist.
You and the weight specialist will decide what treatment is best for you, and your team will support you every step of the way.
