HERO Program

Be our HERO!

Our HERO program (Help Eliminate/Reduce Obesity) is an intensely monitored weight loss program for potential surgical weight loss patients who have a BMI over 50.  Bariatric surgeons have long known that surgical risk increases with BMI.  Designed to optimize weight loss and reduce surgical risk, our HERO patients will have specific goals set for them by our registered dietitians (RD’s), who will monitor their progress through a combination of live office visits and our HealthTrac app.  Successful completion of the HERO program will result in a lower-risk procedure, and a better long-term outcome!

HealthTrac is a state-of-the-art system for supporting patients through their weight loss journey.  It allows our RD’s to set goals and see, at the touch of a button, who is achieving them and who is needing addititional support.  With the use of a compatible bluetooth scale, your weights will automatically be logged each day in the platform. HealthTrac can flag patients who are moving in the wrong direction on the scale, allowing our dietitians to focus in on those who need the most help.

HealthTrac includes easy food journaling, either with bar code scanning or direct text entry, so that our RD’s know exactly what you’ve been eating and can tweak your plan for optimal results.

Virtual visits can be scheduled by the patient at the times of their choice, and can be done right from any Android or iOS smart phone.  During the visit, the RD can view the goals which have been set, analyze your food and weight logs, and see where improvements can be made to improve results.
