How To Join Our Program

Joining Our Program is Easy!

Thank you for your interest in the Weight and Wellness Center. First spend a little time on the Web site to learn about your weight loss options.

 

If you are interested in a medical, physician-assisted (non-surgical) approach to weight loss, go directly to step #3

 

If you are interested in surgery (either gastric bypass or gastric band surgery), please follow all the following steps:

1. Determine your Body Mass Index (BMI), a measure of your weight with your height taken into account. Use our BMI Calculator.

• If your BMI is above 40, you are probably eligible for surgery
• If it is between 35 and 40 and you have a medical condition related to your weight (diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, etc.) you may also be eligible for surgery

2. If you are eligible, call your insurance company to determine if they cover weight loss surgery.

3. Now, either call 617-636-6086 to have us mail you our one-page application or click here to download it (PDF document).
