Exercise and a healthy diet are key to losing weight and keeping it off. The Weigh to Go program at Sutter’s Mills-Peninsula helps bariatric surgery patients make exercise a regular part of their lives. When you join the program, an exercise physiologist will provide a fitness evaluation and create a personalized exercise plan. 

Over 3 months, you’ll receive individualized support, including consultations before and after surgery and weekly telemanagement sessions. Mills-Peninsula offers a variety of exercise options, and our physiologist will help you find the best routine for your needs, whether at home or a fitness center.

Our weight loss specialists at Sutter’s Palo Alto Medical Foundation (PAMF), Sutter Gould Medical Foundation and Sutter Medical Center, Sacramento understand that losing weight requires a combination of strategies, including lifestyle changes, diet and exercise. For some people, behavioral changes aren't enough, so we offer weight management programs that may include FDA-approved weight loss medications.

Medications can help jumpstart weight loss, but maintaining a healthy weight requires continued healthy eating and exercise. Follow-up visits are recommended monthly for the first 3 months and every 2–3 months after to monitor progress and potential side effects.

In Stanislaus and San Joaquin County, our Central Valley Weight Management program includes adult and pediatric weight management options. Depending on your needs and preferences, we offer support with nutrition, physical activity, behavioral changes, medication assistance and bariatric surgery follow-up care.  

You can self-refer to the Central Valley program by calling the office at 209-550-4788. Talk with your care team about participating in our weight loss medication programs in Sacramento or the Bay Area.
