Our Mission

Alex — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 13:06:58 +0000

As an actively practicing family physician in Hockessin, I have personally seen the staggering increase in obesity related co-morbidities over the last 5 years. Like many physicians, I have struggled with finding the time to effectively counsel my patients on proper nutrition and exercise techniques. I have also come to realize that most of our training during medical school targets the treatment of obesity related complications rather than treating the disease of obesity itself.

For this reason I opened the Bianchi Medical Weight Loss Center. My comprehensive program is designed to address the disease of obesity itself and educate patients on proper nutrition, eating patterns and exercise routines in order to achieve permanent weight loss and lifestyle change as well as to prevent weight regain. Patients in this program do not diet, rather they are taught to eat healthier yet still enjoy their favorite foods. The patients will also be able to receive weight loss medications in a safe and appropriate setting, under the supervision of a board certified medical bariatric specialist.

I began my training in bariatric medicine two years ago, and in November 2008 I achieved my board certification by the American Board of Bariatric Medicine. I am currently the only practicing board certified medical bariatric specialist in Delaware.

My program is designed to provide extensive health benefits for patients with many medical conditions including but not limited to high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, sleep apnea, acid reflux disease, arthritis, knee hip and back pain, and asthma. Patients can enjoy these benefit with as little as 5-10% reduction in there current weight.

The 6 month program consists of 7 office visits with me, a preliminary EKG on the first visit, all baseline lab work, all educational materials, and a discounted membership to the Hockessin Athletic Club with no signup fee. I also offer a one year weight maintenance program. Although the program is not currently reimbursed by insurances, the cost is nearly 75% less than the other currently available programs.

Please call the office for more details. I look forward to partnering with you in your journey to a healthier lifestyle.

Best of Both Worlds

“The program is not a diet but a lifestyle change. I have lost nearly 50 pounds, and maintained it. Dr. Bianchi has given me the best of both worlds, still enjoying the foods I love, as well as losing weight.”

Big Changes

Alex — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 13:17:16 +0000

With a sedentary lifestyle and a diet of lots of any kind of food -plus eight sodas a day- I began to pile pounds.

The Change
April 2008. After an annual physical examination by Dr. Bianchi the result were not far from what I had in mind and was afraid to hear….. Obese, hypertension, high cholesterol, and very close to earn a free ticket to heart attack at 38 years old. I knew something would have to change if I want to play with my kids or just make my wife proud.

The strategy
After a discussion with Dr. Bianchi regarding my diet habits he designed a Medical plan suitable to my age, with a balance diet dependable on calorie account and an exercise program.

The Lifestyle
I followed Dr. Bianchi daily diet program with monthly follow up visits to ensure success with Dr. Bianchi’s close monitoring diet program.

The reward
Beyond the satisfaction of 90 pounds lost and the importance of being healthy again is a huge sense of accomplishment.
