Lifestyle Management Program
The NEW Surgical After-Care Programs
At The NEW Program, we believe that bariatric surgery itself is not a complete solution to obesity; it is a starting point. Without ongoing support, education, and motivation, even the most state-of-the-art surgery may not result in permanent weight loss. Fortunately, we offer a comprehensive after-care program unlike any other in Southern California. No matter which surgery you choose, your after-care program will empower you to make the choices that will give you the best results possible.
Our LifeStyle Management Program is the core of our after-care programs. Here you will attend workshops, exercise groups, support groups and webinars, delivered by our surgeons, bariatric internists, psychologists, Registered Dietitian, and exercise trainers. These dynamic sessions make you an active participant in your care and are one of the keys to your success.
Platinum Surgical Program
This 6-month program is the most complete after-care program available. You will have the tools you need to not only follow our post-surgical recommendations during the program, but incorporate them into your lifestyle permanently.
Tune-Up Program
This 8-week program will get you back on track if bariatric surgery did not result in lasting weight loss for you. This is an intense program that addresses any medical or behavioral issues that may have caused you to regain weight, and teaches you to incorporate a realistic way of eating and exercising that you can sustain. If you are having a revision surgery or procedure to modify your original bariatric surgery, the Tune-Up Program is a necessary component of your after-care.
A la Carte Surgical Program
The NEW Program’s A la Carte Surgical Program gives you a way to customize your after-care with as many or as few of our services as you need. You may enroll in this program at any point after your surgery; it is not limited to the immediate post-surgical period.
The N.E.W. Program Support Groups (No Charge!)
As you are aware, the challenges faced by bariatric surgery patients are unique, and our experts are here to help you. Support group meetings not only provide expert support but peer support from others who have undergone bariatric surgery. Many of our Support Group members find it an excellent vehicle to share experiences and be reassured that you are progressing!
