Obesity Pharmacotherapy Program

Massachusetts General Hospital - Weight Center

The Obesity Pharmacotherapy Program in Saugus, MA, is dedicated to helping individuals reclaim their health through an integrated one-year approach that combines effective lifestyle modifications with medication for weight loss. Our program addresses the complexities of obesity and its related conditions, including diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, fatty liver disease, and sleep apnea, aiming to improve symptoms and reduce medication dependency. Participants begin with an initial assessment, which includes a metabolic rate test, four consultations with a specialized dietitian to create a tailored dietary plan, education on mindful eating, and regular weight monitoring. From there, our team designs a personalized strategy that may involve ongoing dietitian support, closely managed weight loss medications, and access to behavioral or surgical options. We welcome patients covered by MassHealth and Medicare and invite new patients to attend an orientation for a thorough evaluation with our skilled obesity medicine specialists, dietitians, and psychologists who specialize in obesity treatment, ensuring every individual receives the guidance necessary to achieve their health goals.
