Patient Results | Weight Loss New York

I have been battling with my weight since high school. In the past I have tried a wide variety of weight loss programs; Weight Watchers, South Beach, Dr. Atkins, exercising as much as two hours a day, and even diet pills. While I would see some loss it was difficult to maintain and the weight would return. Recently I was working out with a personal trainer. Instead of losing weight, I gained. After injuring my foot and laying off the exercise I added even more weight. Frustrated I went to see my doctor, who identified me as “obese” and referred me to Medical Weight Loss of NY.

Six months ago, I looked and felt much different than today. My husband, Neil, and I started with Dr. Scinta and the full meal replacement plan at the end August last year. At that time, April seemed like a lifetime away and I thought I wouldn’t be thinner because everything else I had ever tried, practically failed or I had just given up. But April is here and I couldn’t be happier with the results for the both of us. [Read more]

I have struggled with weight issues for a most my life. It wasn’t until my last few years of high school and early college that I realized it starting to be a bigger issue. In my head I was always able to tell myself that I was fine and that I didn’t need to do anything about it. Then I was told I had high blood pressure, again I wasn’t as nervous because it runs in my family, so I told myself it wasn’t due to being overweight, it’s in my genes. But it wasn’t until I started hearing that if I continued down this destructive path I would end up with a lot more problems and could potentially not live as long as my friends. I woke up and realized that I’m 22 years old and I need a change, I didn’t want to live this life any longer. I was afraid to have pictures taken of me because I never liked the way they looked. I was always shy in social situations because I didn’t feel confident in how I looked. [Read more]

I came to Dr. Scinta’s informational meeting in July 2010. I was at my heaviest and had tried every diet out there in one shape or another. I really did believe that fat is what was meant for me. I learned of Dr. Scinta from my father who was speaking to one of Doc’s successes. He gave me a call and said I should really give this a try. I am so glad and thankful for that call. I have learned more about myself in the past year and a half than one needs to know. [Read more]

Before I went to Dr. Scinta’s I was teased sometimes about my weight. I was not very athletic and I had a hard time running and keeping pace with other girls my age. I was hungry a lot and my mom was worried about my cholesterol. Then my doctor, Dr. Soeder, told my mom and I about Dr. Scinta and how she helped other kids like me. [Read more]
