Intensive Weight Management Program

The IWMP is designed for patients who meet the following criteria:

•  Use the calculator below to see if you have a BMI of 30 or greater.
•  You have already tried multiple attempts at supervised weight loss through Military or Commercial weight loss programs.
•  You are willing and able to come to frequent follow up visits (every 1-2 weeks) and attend group classes when offered.

• CBC,
• B12,
• Lipid Panel,
• CMP, and
• a Thyroid panel.

Patients who are NOT appropriate for the IWMP are:

•  BMI less than 30
•  Currently Pregnant or Breastfeeding
•  History of an eating disorder (anorexia nervosa, bulimia, combination)
•  Unable to commit to frequent follow up visits.
•  Need to lose weight at a rate that is considered unsafe to meet Navy Standards in too short of a timeframe.
•  Those who have never tried any supervised weight loss programs.

Ask your PCM for a referral for Nutrition NMCP Weight Management where you will be scheduled for an initial class. You then can see a Registered Dietitian for individual assessment.

If you are Pregnant, we have a class for Pregnant women to help with gaining the right amount of weight. Ask your OB provider for a consult to the Nutrition NMCP OB Weight Management Group.
