Weight Management

We are here with answers when weight loss is hard. 

If it’s difficult for you to lose weight, or excess weight is affecting your health, medical weight loss or bariatric surgery may be options for you. The experienced team at Trinity Health Of New England Weight Management can help you lose weight and improve your health. 

Medication for Weight Loss

We can help you lose weight without surgery. Our medical bariatricians work with our registered dietitians to treat obesity with medication and behavioral modifications. A medical bariatrician can also help patients who experience problems losing weight following bariatric surgery.
