Obesity Medicine and Diabetes Institute

I have been coming to Medweight for 3 years now and I have learned so many useful tools to help me in my safe weight loss journey. They taught me the importance of having protein in my diet and not skipping meals. The classes on resilience and self-compassion have made me able to keep the weight I have lost eversince from coming back on (45 pounds) . Whenever I have a “slip”, the advice and encouragement from the staff have made me empowered to forgive myself, learn the triggers which caused the slip and carry on. The staff are very courteous and approachable. They are very knowledgeable in the areas of nutrition, exercise and current issues that are obesity related. My life was changed as an obese person due to Medweight.

Fantastic medical community. A lot of support on the medical side. So many resources in education on obesity and diet. I got answers I had been looking for for years. I found that if you follow the program and it works. Worth the times and energy to invest in yourself.

This has been a journey for me (and still is and will be). I found the Core Program not very useful because I was already doing a lot of the suggested things and had the same information already. The staff running the Core Program are excellent and they try to motivate you, even though your motivation and inspiration are completely 'non-existent.' What I learned is that the 'failures' of the beginning (in my mind, I was doing poorly and not liking anything of what I saw or heard), became the Successes of today. I met Dr Lyon yesterday for the first time. He presented the Focused Interval Weight Management Approach. I found his presentation excellent: a very good balance of personal anecdotes and scientific research. For the first time in 5 months, I got it. This is a permanent life style commitment, not to lose weight only, but to also learn about and heal your unfinished emotional issues, to discover that you can apply self-regulation and ultimately become a self-reliant individual to yourself and to others too. Nobody can do this for you. Only you. However, with the professional and humane care that you can receive from this clinic, you will eventually work on your shadows and bring light to your life: from the inside out. It is not about excess of sugars, carbs, and fat only, it is about a lack of understanding, connection and support. For me, this team and this program have been extremely helpful, even though I have been a slow learner, I know in my heart now, that I'll be a life time participant. I'll show up with the best I can offer at the moment, knowing that like minded people will understand, support, educate and encourage me all along the way. I have so much to say but for now, only THANK YOU to Dr Lyon and to all the staff who keep an unwavering faith in all of us. Haydee

Good on this clinic for attempting to help us battling obesity. But boy oh boy, do you need some more compassionate staff. I got a call today from someone by the name of Treena and she was extremely cut throat. No compassion or care at all about me as a patient. I don’t want to return to this!!! No thank you!!!

This clinic has changed my life. Dr. Feeley, Veronica Kasinik, dr. Lyon, among other helpful doctors... Are amazing. Also Shane in reception... Amazing. They all go above and beyond for their patients. I'm serious, my life has been forever changed by all the support and guidance I've recieved through them. If you want to change your life and habits for the better, go here. You'll change you're life too. ❤️

This facility has changed my life. The staff are both professional and knowledgeable. The centre is not all about weight loss it focus on health and well being. Tests are run frequently to ensure all health factors or issues are investigated. I have committed to a life style change and have been very successful on the program. The team members there provide ample support and have a diverse expertise. Joining the program provides the tools necessary to be successful you need to make the commitment to change. I highly recommend this program to those willing to commit. If you fall off track reach out and they are there for you.

The clinic is victim of its own success. I started the program with Dr. Lyon and followed up visits and he was taking the time. Everything was so perfect in a small structure. I was really motivated. Now you have a numerous number of Dr. that are only there to train and you don’t even know which doctor you are going to meet on your next visit as they change frequently. I went back to the care of my GP. The groups are way too big and often topics are not covered entirely. A followed presentation with bullets points is being emailed to you but it has not the same impact.

I am truly grateful. My life is changing for the positive and I owe it to these incredible people. Calling them has been one of the best decisions I have made in my life.
