A typical first appointment includes:

• Review of weight and health history
• Blood tests
• Consideration of weight-related tests
• Guided discussion of program options

Finding Your Weight Control Treatment Plan

You and your physician will review your weight trends and challenges from the past and present, as well as your current medical conditions and medications.

The physician will use individual preferences, weight/medical information, financial considerations, and other eligibility factors to help narrow down the choices of weight treatment programs. Additional testing or consultation may be required before making a final recommendation.

A referral from a primary care provider is required to join the Weight Navigation Program. Once the referral is received, you will be contacted to schedule your first appointment. 

U-M Health providers can place a "Weight Navigation Program" referral through the electronic medical record (MiChart).
