GOSHEN, Ind. – Greg Thorne, Elkhart, had no symptoms of heart problems when he went in for a routine physical with his family doctor. All his vital signs checked out, and he felt healthy. When his doctor mentioned a $49 heart screening (to check his calcium score) for people over 50, Thorne thought it sounded like a good idea, even if he didn’t need it.

A three- to four-year weight loss plan seems like a lifetime to some people. But that’s what it can take to lose 150 to 200 pounds on a non-surgery program managed by a doctor. Called medically managed weight loss, the program combines a calorie-controlled diet and exercise with accountability and support from weight loss experts.

Brad Miller considered the time frame a life saver. He wanted the checks and balances from a doctor-directed program as well as guidance on how to change his eating habits and sedentary lifestyle.
