Weight-loss programs in Wisconsin
Taking the next step of your weight-loss journey can be challenging. We're here to provide the care and support you need. If your weight is leading to other health concerns or your BMI (body mass index) is over 35, medically supervised weight-loss programs or weight-loss surgery might be right for you. Talk with your doctor about your answers to these questions: 
- Does my current weight cause other chronic health conditions?
- Can I commit to documented weight-loss efforts required by my insurance plan?
- Am I willing to re-evaluate my diet and exercise to live a healthier life?
Weight loss can be a deeply personal, life-changing decision. Our doctors and nurses listen to understand you and your health concerns. Then, we work with you to create a weight-loss plan that’s right for you.
