Obesity is now the new #1 cause of medical morbidity and mortality, but at Trinity Medical Center, we know that it takes more than good intentions to shed the pounds—and we believe that it takes more than drugs if the weight is going to stay off.  While many PA Weight Loss programs push drugs for a quick fix, we believe in walking with you through a plan that you can live with even after your weight-loss goal has been achieved.
First, we measure your normal calorie consumption by measuring your oxygen consumption through spirometry (pulmonary function testing).  With that number—the normal calories you burn in a day—we figure out a normal diet that adds up to fewer calories than you burn but gets you all the nutrition you need.  Then, we tailor a plan for you that includes your normal diet, exercise possibilities, and routine checkups to help keep you motivated and accountable.  

At Trinity, we know that “quick fixes” have proven to introduce as many problems as they “fix.”  While gastric bypass surgery is sometimes necessary in extreme cases, it is generally an unhealthy solution because it prevents the body from absorbing necessary nutrients well.  Likewise, many weight-loss pills prevent nutrient absorption and introduce other health complications.  In general, whenever a patient depends on temporary drugs or surgery to take the pounds off—instead of a lifestyle change—then the weight loss is reversed as soon as the treatment ends.  

At Trinity, we’re interested in solutions that last, ones that fit the way the body naturally gains and loses weight, ones that promote healthy habits to keep a continually healthy body.   We know that changing your life is hard, but we’re ready to walk with you through it, every step of the way.
