Resources for Doctors' Weight Management Program Participants

The following are some helpful resources to help you join and stay on track during your weight-loss journey while you are on the Doctors' Weight Management Program... and beyond.

Required Orientation Session

Prior to joining one of our clinic based programs (Santa Barbara) we do require that you join us for a free session where you'll learn about the program: how you can be successful, what you can expect to see as far as weight loss, costs, and time commitments. View the Orientation schedule - Doctors' Weight Management Program Orientation and then call (805) 563-6190 to register for a session. (No cost, no obligation.)

Pre-Diet Program Requirements

We require some medical tests prior to enrolling into our medically supervised clinic program. Here is a list of the requirements. Look here to find the closest Pacific Diagnostic Lab.

Sansum Cardiology Electrocardiograms

In most cases, we require patients to have a pre-diet EKG. Additionally, patients are to have an EKG done at 50-pound weight loss increments. Contact the Cardiology Department at Sansum Clinic for more information.
