Tune-Up Program
The 8-week Tune-Up Program will get you back on track if bariatric surgery did not result in the weight loss you expected or if you initially lost enough weight but have gained some of that weight back again. This is a focused program designed to identify any medical or behavioral issues that may have caused your weight gain and to teach you how to incorporate realistic eating and exercise patterns that you can sustain. Like our other programs, the Tune-Up Program is not a “diet”; it is a lifestyle change.
Surgical patients of The N.E.W. Program may choose to enroll in the Tune-Up Program at any time. If you are having a revision surgery or procedure to modify your original bariatric surgery, the Tune-Up Program may be a necessary component of your after-care. The Tune-Up Program includes:
- Complete medical evaluation with our Medical Director at the beginning and end of the program.
- Initial nutrition evaluation with our Registered Dietitian, three weekly nutrition coaching sessions during the first month, and a consultation at the end of the program.
- Initial exercise evaluation and two monthly exercise coaching sessions with one of our exercise trainers.
- A comprehensive behavioral evaluation with our bariatric psychologist.
- Our unique LifeStyle Management Program Workshops.
- Exercise groups, Support groups, and special member events.
- A one-week Metabolic Adjustment diet at the beginning of the program or prior to revision surgery.
- Optional nutrition package for revision surgeries: four-week all-inclusive post-surgical nutrition plan of delicious high-protein foods.
