Providing Weight Loss Support and Counseling at Our Cincinnati Area Practice in Fairfield

Mercy Healthy Weight Solutions offers a range of services and treatments for overweight patients. In addition to surgical and non-surgical weight loss options, we perform detailed health risk assessments and provide comprehensive weigh loss support and counseling for those in all phases of the weight loss process. These services are an integral part of our weight loss program, and our patients agree that they are crucial to successful weight loss with or without surgery.

Obesity Health Risk Assessments

When you decide to join our program, the first step is to assess your overall health. Obesity is closely linked to a variety of serious health conditions and diseases, and the more overweight a person is, the higher the health risks.

Asking the Right Questions

These are some important questions to consider before visiting our office. When you do visit, we will discuss them in detail to evaluate your overall health and the potential cause or causes of obesity.

• Have you always been overweight, or is this recent weight gain?
• Have your diet or eating habits changed recently? How so?
• What percentage of your daily calorie intake is from fatty foods?
• How many meals do you eat each day? What sorts of foods do you eat most?
• How often do you snack during the day? What sorts of snack foods do you prefer?
• Do you exercise? How frequently? Have your exercise habits changed recently?
• Are you under more stress than usual? What is the source of that stress?
• How often do you consume alcohol? Have your drinking habits changed recently?
• Have you tried other weight loss programs? What were the outcomes?
• Are you experiencing any other symptoms?

Weight Loss Support and Counseling at Our Cincinnati Area Practice

One of the most important tools for successful weight loss is counseling and professional support. Providing these forms of weight loss assistance are the cornerstones of our practice. It is undeniable that making and keeping a commitment to weight loss is challenging both emotionally and physically. Good health almost always requires lifestyle changes that are difficult to make without help. With the support of our licensed counseling professionals, you can create a treatment plan that will help you be more successful in meeting your weight loss goals with or without surgery.

Behavioral Weight Loss Counseling

Almost all of us engage in some behavior that is bad for our health and contributes to weight gain. Even when we have the best intentions, it is easy to inadvertently slip back into old habits that undermine the weight loss process. Behavioral weight loss counseling and support at our Fairfield, Ohio practice helps our patients eliminate bad habits and establish good ones in order to achieve their long-term weight loss goals.

Nutritional Counseling

Nutrition is an absolute requirement for both weight loss and general health. Nutritional counseling and support at our practice serving those from Fairfield, Greater Cincinnati, Dayton and surrounding areas, can help you satisfy your dietary needs and eliminate unnecessary and unhealthy foods that promote weight gain. Each patient's diet is planned according to their individual needs and goals.

Good nutrition is just as important for patients who undergo weight loss surgery. After surgery, patients are limited in the types and amounts of food they can eat. For this reason, it is crucial to make the most of the food you do eat, and also to take specialized nutritional supplements.

It is important to remember that good nutrition is necessary in order to maintain a healthy weight. Weight loss is a process that lasts your whole life, and it is not enough to eat well simply until you reach a healthy size. With or without surgery, lifelong adherence to an appropriate nutrition plan is essential.

Fitness Counseling and Wellness Programs

Physical fitness is an integral part of any effective weight loss program. For many of us, a sedentary lifestyle has contributed to weight gain in the first place. Losing the weight means committing to a realistic and feasible exercise program. To achieve lasting weight loss, fitness counseling and support from our healthcare professionals helps to instill proper exercise habits.
