Obesity Pharmacotherapy Program

Massachusetts General Hospital - Weight Center

The Obesity Pharmacotherapy Program in Lynn, MA, is committed to empowering individuals on their journey to better health through a holistic, year-long approach that combines sustainable lifestyle changes with effective medication. Our program specifically addresses the challenges associated with obesity and related health conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, fatty liver disease, and sleep apnea. By participating, patients can expect to see improvements in their symptoms, which often leads to a reduction in the need for medications. Our initial assessment includes a comprehensive breathing test to evaluate your metabolic rate, four personalized meetings with a dietitian to create a tailored dietary plan, and education on mindful eating and essential lifestyle modifications. Following this, we establish a personalized care plan that may involve regular dietitian meetings, closely monitored weight loss medication, and access to behavioral or surgical treatment options. Massachusetts General Hospital welcomes individuals with MassHealth and Medicare, and new patients are invited to attend an orientation where they will receive a thorough evaluation from an obesity medicine specialist, alongside a dietitian and psychologist who specialize in obesity treatments. Your journey to achieving your health goals starts with us, and we are here to support you every step of the way.
