The Lefebre and Burke Weight Loss and Laser Centre has assisted in the care of over 35,000 bariatric patients.

Our Motivation Program is the reason our patients are so successful losing weight and keeping it off. It consists of weekly handout materials, weight management books and CD’s and a computer program called the “Mental Weight” (MW) personality assessment which allows us to identify your challenges and customize a program that is just right for you. We will assesses your habits, motivation, self- image, stress and emotional control and help identify your psychological blocks that are, or could be causing your overweight problems.

Regardless of whether you are 10, 50, or 150 pounds overweight, we at the Lefebre and Burke Weight Loss and Laser Centre recognize that your overweight condition represents one of the most, if not THE MOST difficult challenge in your life. However with our help, we will make a good team and you will succeed!!

First Visit:

• Initial free consultation by Dr. Burke, Dr. Lefebre or Dr. Safran (all of whom have been specially trained in bariatric medicine).
• Detailed bariatric medical history taken and a physical examination performed (including height, weight, waist measurement, Body Mass Index and body fat analysis).
• Laboratory tests and an electrocardiogram (EKG) ordered as needed.
• The diet selected from the various diet options is explained in detail. Our individualized nutrition plan options include: standard as well as protein supplemented diets-these special medical diets originated from the work done by Dr. George Blackburn from Harvard Medical School in Boston and result in safe, faster weight loss.
• We never use injections as these are not required to acheive excellent results.
• Patients receive a Motivational/weight management CD and book.
• Login and Password given to the patient to be able to perform the “Mental Weight” personality computer test.

Second Visit:

• Review of the first week’s diet experience and modifications of the diet made if needed. Patients have a choice to adjust their diet at any subsequent visit and continue to individualize their program.
• Motivational counseling by both a counsellor and doctor and motivational material handed out. The doctor will review health improvement, reduce or eliminate medications as weight loss progresses and review lab test and EKG results .

Subsequent Weekly Visits:

• Patients receive on going one on one counselling by a counsellor or doctor and weekly motivational material handouts.
