Medical Weight Management

Some people may initially think they’re ready for weight loss surgery but then learn that they need to meet an insurance policy requirement of 3 to 6 or even 12 continuous months of medically supervised weight management. We offer a program designed to help you reach your goal with pre-surgery weight loss counseling if insurance requires.

At Southern Oregon Bariatric Center we understand that no two people are alike. That’s why we create individualized medically-based weight management plans designed to suit your needs. The approach is to assist you to improve your health habits, lose weight and meet insurance requirements in preparation for bariatric surgery.

Southern Oregon Bariatric Center's medical weight management program is directed by Reeger Cortell, a family nurse practitioner specializing in medical and surgical weight loss (Reeger also provides much of the post-operative bariatric clinical care should you have bariatric surgery). We use the latest evidenced-based medical care and state-of-the-art technology including a body composition scanner and SenseWear arm bands (as seen on the Biggest Loser). Combined together you receive unique and personalized weight loss care aimed towards helping you feel your best and reach your weight loss goals!
